Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Brown Rice
Pan-seared sockeye salmon served over a bed of fluffy brown rice and steamed asparagus, finished with a bright squeeze of lemon and a hint of flaky sea salt.
INGREDIENTS
6.5 ounces Sockeye Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Asparagus spears
1.5 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon fresh Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a medium stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
Carefully place the salmon in the skillet skin-side down and press gently with a spatula to ensure even contact.
Sear the salmon for 4 to 5 minutes without moving it until the skin is golden and crispy.
Flip the fillet and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes more until the salmon is just opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon cooks, place the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 3 to 5 minutes until tender-crisp and vibrant green.
Warm the pre-cooked brown rice in a small saucepan or microwave until steaming.
Plate the salmon alongside the brown rice and steamed asparagus, finishing the dish with a generous drizzle of fresh lemon juice.
