Golden Pan-Seared Salmon with Zesty Asparagus
Pan-seared salmon fillet seasoned with smoked paprika and served alongside crisp-tender asparagus finished with a bright and zesty lemon-garlic glaze.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz salmon fillet
1.5 cup asparagus spears
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp smoked paprika
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel on both sides to ensure a perfect golden crust.
Season the salmon evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon in the pan, flesh-side down, and sear for 4 minutes without moving it until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon carefully and add the asparagus spears to the empty spaces in the pan.
Mince the garlic and add it to the pan along with the lemon zest, tossing the asparagus to coat.
Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the asparagus is crisp-tender.
Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the salmon and asparagus before removing from the heat.
Plate the salmon alongside the zesty asparagus and serve immediately.
