Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Herbed Brown Rice
Pan-seared wild salmon served with fluffy herbed brown rice and tender steamed asparagus, finished with a bright squeeze of lemon and a touch of crisp skin.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Salmon Fillet
0.75 cup Cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Asparagus spears
2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Heat one teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the pan and press gently with a spatula for 10 seconds to ensure even contact.
Sear the salmon for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until opaque throughout.
While the salmon cooks, place the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green.
In a small bowl, toss the warm cooked brown rice with the remaining teaspoon of olive oil and the fresh chopped parsley.
Plate the salmon alongside the herbed rice and steamed asparagus, finishing the entire dish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
