Seared Salmon Fillet with Steamed Asparagus and Lemon Zest
Pan-seared salmon fillet with crisp skin served alongside tender steamed asparagus and finished with a bright sprinkle of lemon zest.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus spears
1.5 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Lemon Zest
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season the flesh side with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering but not smoking.
Carefully place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and press gently with a spatula for 10 seconds to ensure even contact.
Sear the salmon for 4 to 5 minutes without moving it until the skin is golden and crisp.
While the salmon sears, place the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 3 to 4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Flip the salmon fillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Remove the salmon and asparagus from the heat and plate immediately.
Garnish the dish with the fresh lemon zest and an optional squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
