Golden Pan-Seared Salmon with Asparagus
Pan-seared salmon fillets develop a crispy, golden skin while resting on a bed of tender-crisp asparagus sautéed with bright lemon and fragrant garlic.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon fillet
1 cup Asparagus spears
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 clove Garlic
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 whole Lemon
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet thoroughly dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering but not smoking.
Carefully place the salmon fillet skin-side down in the hot pan and press down lightly with a spatula to ensure even contact for a crispy skin.
Sear the salmon undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and releases easily from the pan.
Flip the salmon fillet and immediately add the trimmed asparagus spears and minced garlic to the open space in the skillet.
Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, tossing the asparagus occasionally, until the salmon reaches your desired level of doneness and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
Remove the pan from the heat and squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the salmon and vegetables before plating.
