Golden Pan-Seared Salmon with Zesty Asparagus
Pan-seared salmon fillet with a crispy skin served alongside tender-crisp asparagus finished with a bright and zesty lemon-garlic drizzle.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz salmon fillet
1.5 cup asparagus spears
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp hemp seeds
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the hot skillet and press gently with a spatula to ensure even contact; cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness, then remove from the pan and let rest.
In the same skillet, add the trimmed asparagus spears and minced garlic, sautéing for 3 to 4 minutes until the asparagus is bright green and tender-crisp.
Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest to coat the asparagus.
Plate the salmon alongside the zesty asparagus and garnish the entire dish with hemp seeds for an added nutty crunch.
