Seared Salmon Fillet with Steamed Asparagus and Brown Rice
Pan-seared salmon fillet served with nutty brown rice and tender-crisp steamed asparagus, finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
INGREDIENTS
10 ounces Wild Atlantic Salmon Fillet
1 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 cup fresh Asparagus spears
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Fresh lemon wedges and sea salt for seasoning
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and press gently with a spatula to ensure even contact; sear for 4 to 5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Carefully flip the fillet and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 125-130°F for medium-rare.
While the salmon cooks, place the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 3 to 5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Fluff the pre-cooked brown rice and place it on a plate.
Serve the seared salmon alongside the rice and asparagus, finishing with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
