Seared Salmon with Brown Rice and Roasted Asparagus
Pan-seared salmon fillet served over nutty brown rice and tender roasted asparagus, finished with a squeeze of bright, zesty lemon.
INGREDIENTS
6.5 ounces Wild Atlantic Salmon fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Fresh Asparagus spears
3/4 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Fresh Lemon (for juice)
Pinch of Garlic Powder, Salt, and Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss the spears with 1/4 teaspoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Roast the asparagus for 12 to 15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While asparagus roasts, pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon in the pan and sear for 4 to 5 minutes until a golden crust forms, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes until just opaque.
Warm the pre-cooked brown rice in a small saucepan or microwave if needed.
Plate the salmon over the brown rice with the roasted asparagus on the side, finishing the dish with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
