Golden Pan-Seared Salmon with Roasted Asparagus
Pan-seared salmon fillets served with crisp-tender roasted asparagus and finished with a bright squeeze of lemon for a vibrant, nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz salmon fillet
1 cup asparagus spears
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.5 whole lemon
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss the spears with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes until crisp-tender.
While asparagus roasts, pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon in the pan flesh-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes without moving it to develop a deep golden crust.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the skin side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
Plate the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and finish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice over everything.
