Golden Pan-Seared Salmon with Roasted Asparagus
Pan-seared salmon fillet featuring a crispy golden skin served alongside tender roasted asparagus spears finished with a bright squeeze of lemon.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon fillet
1 cup Asparagus
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 them on the baking sheet with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt and pepper.
Roast the asparagus for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly charred at the tips.
While the asparagus roasts, pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the hot pan and sear for 4-5 minutes without moving it to achieve a crispy golden crust.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F and the flesh is opaque.
Plate the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and finish with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice over everything.
