Golden Pan-Seared Salmon with Zesty Lemon
Salmon fillet pan-seared to achieve a crispy golden crust, served with tender roasted asparagus and a vibrant squeeze of fresh lemon.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz salmon fillet
1 tsp olive oil
1 cup asparagus spears
0.5 whole lemon
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering but not smoking.
Carefully place the salmon fillet skin-side down in the pan and sear for 4-5 minutes without moving it to ensure the skin becomes crispy.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F and the flesh flakes easily.
While the salmon finishes, steam or lightly sauté the asparagus spears in a separate pan with a splash of water until they are tender-crisp and bright green.
Plate the salmon alongside the asparagus and finish the dish with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the fish.
