INGREDIENTS

7 oz Salmon fillet

1.5 cup Asparagus spears

1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil

1 clove Garlic

1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice

0.5 tsp Lemon zest

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel to ensure a perfect sear, then season both sides evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.

• 2

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a medium stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil begins to shimmer.

• 3

  Carefully place the salmon in the pan, skin-side down, and press gently with a spatula for 10 seconds to prevent curling; cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.

• 4

  Flip the fillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the salmon is just opaque in the center and has developed a beautiful golden crust.

• 5

  Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside to rest on a warm plate.

• 6

  In the same pan, add the trimmed asparagus spears and minced garlic, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.

• 7

  Finish the vegetables by tossing them with the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest before serving immediately alongside the rested salmon fillet.
