Golden Pan-Seared Salmon with Zesty Asparagus
Pan-seared salmon fillets with a crispy golden skin served alongside tender-crisp asparagus finished with a bright and zesty lemon-garlic glaze.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz salmon fillet
1 cup asparagus spears
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
0.5 whole lemon
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears and finely mince the garlic clove.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
Place the salmon in the pan, skin-side down, and sear for 4-5 minutes without moving it until the skin is golden and releases easily from the pan.
Carefully flip the salmon and add the asparagus and minced garlic to the empty spaces in the skillet.
Sauté the asparagus for 3-4 minutes, tossing occasionally, while the salmon finishes cooking through to your desired level of doneness.
Squeeze the juice of the half lemon over the salmon and asparagus just before removing from the heat to serve.
