Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Lemon
Pan-seared wild sockeye salmon paired with tender steamed asparagus and fresh lemon zest, finished with a bright and zesty squeeze of citrus.
INGREDIENTS
5.3 oz Wild Sockeye Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
Pinch of Sea Salt and Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears.
Place a steamer basket in a pot with an inch of water, bring to a boil, and steam the asparagus for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
While the asparagus steams, heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon in the skillet skin-side down and sear for 4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 125°F for medium-rare or 145°F for fully cooked.
Remove the salmon and asparagus from heat.
Plate the salmon alongside the asparagus, drizzle with fresh lemon juice, and garnish with lemon zest if desired.
