Golden Pan-Seared Salmon with Roasted Asparagus
Pan-seared salmon fillet featuring a crispy skin served alongside oven-roasted asparagus spears finished with a bright squeeze of fresh lemon.
INGREDIENTS
6.5 oz salmon fillet
1 cup asparagus spears
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp ghee
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 for easy cleanup.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears and toss them on the baking sheet with the extra virgin olive oil and half of the sea salt and black pepper.
Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until they are tender and the tips are slightly charred.
While the asparagus roasts, pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel to ensure the best sear.
Season both sides of the salmon with the remaining sea salt, black pepper, and the garlic powder.
Heat the ghee in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until it is shimmering and hot.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the pan and press gently with a spatula for 10 seconds; sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 2-3 minutes until opaque, then serve immediately with the roasted asparagus and a vibrant squeeze of fresh lemon.
