Golden Pan-Seared Salmon with Zesty Cucumber Rice
Crisp pan-seared salmon fillet served over fluffy rice tossed with cooling cucumber and a bright, zesty lemon-dill yogurt sauce.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon fillet
0.5 cup Cooked basmati rice
0.5 cup Cucumber
0.25 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Fresh dill
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels and season both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the pan and sear for 4 to 5 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
While the salmon cooks, finely dice the cucumber and chop the fresh dill.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and fresh dill to create the zesty sauce.
In a separate bowl, fluff the warm cooked basmati rice and fold in the diced cucumber along with half of the yogurt sauce.
Plate the cucumber rice, top with the pan-seared salmon, and drizzle the remaining yogurt sauce over the top before serving.
