Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Brown Rice
Pan-seared sockeye salmon paired with tender steamed asparagus and nutty brown rice, finished with a bright squeeze of zesty lemon.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Wild Sockeye Salmon Fillet
0.5 cup Cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Fresh Asparagus spears
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
0.5 fresh Lemon (for juice and zest)
Pinch of Sea Salt and Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Prepare the brown rice according to package instructions if not already cooked.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
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 non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and sear for 4 minutes without moving it to ensure a crispy texture.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 125-130°F for medium-rare.
Plate the salmon alongside the brown rice and steamed asparagus.
Grate fresh lemon zest over the entire plate and finish with a generous squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
