Seared Salmon Fillet with Lentil Salad and Steamed Asparagus
Pan-seared salmon served over a zesty herb-tossed lentil salad with tender steamed asparagus and skin that is perfectly crisp.
INGREDIENTS
8.5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1.25 cups Cooked Lentils
1 cup Asparagus Spears
0.5 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels and season both sides with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and sear for 4 to 5 minutes without moving it to ensure the skin becomes golden and crisp.
Carefully flip the fillet and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is searing, steam the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green.
In a medium bowl, toss the warm cooked lentils with the lemon juice and chopped fresh parsley.
Plate the herb-tossed lentil salad, place the seared salmon on top, and serve with the steamed asparagus on the side.
