Seared Salmon Fillet with Steamed Asparagus and Lemon
Pan-seared wild salmon fillet with crispy skin served alongside tender steamed asparagus and a bright squeeze of fresh lemon.
INGREDIENTS
7.5 oz Wild Atlantic Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus Spears
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
0.5 medium Lemon
0.25 tsp Sea Salt
0.25 tsp Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with paper towels 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 the oil is shimmering but not smoking.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the pan, pressing gently with a spatula for 10 seconds to ensure even contact for a crispy skin.
Sear the salmon for 4-5 minutes without moving it until the skin is golden and releases easily from the pan.
While the salmon sears, place the asparagus in a steamer basket over an inch of boiling water, cover, and steam for 3-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F and the flesh is opaque.
Plate the salmon alongside the steamed asparagus, garnish with lemon zest, and finish with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
