Golden Pan-Seared Salmon with Roasted Asparagus
Pan-seared salmon fillets develop a crisp, golden crust alongside tender roasted asparagus spears finished with a bright squeeze of zesty lemon.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon fillet
1 cup Asparagus spears
2 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.5 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 clove Garlic
0.5 medium Lemon
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss them on the baking sheet with 1 tsp of olive oil and a pinch of the salt and pepper.
Roast the asparagus for 10-12 minutes until they are tender-crisp and slightly charred.
While the vegetables roast, pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with the remaining salt and pepper.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining 1 tsp of olive oil until shimmering.
Place the salmon skin-side up in the pan and sear undisturbed for 4 minutes until a beautiful golden crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon, add the minced garlic to the pan for aromatics, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
Remove from heat, squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the salmon and asparagus, and serve immediately while hot.
