Golden Pan-Seared Salmon with Zesty Asparagus
Pan-seared wild salmon with a crispy golden crust served alongside vibrant, zesty asparagus spears finished with a bright squeeze of fresh lemon.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz salmon fillet
1.5 cups asparagus spears
1 tbsp avocado oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp lemon zest
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Heat the avocado oil in a large stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and press gently with a spatula for 10 seconds to ensure the skin makes full contact for a crispy texture.
Sear the salmon for 4 to 5 minutes without moving it, then flip carefully once the skin is golden and releases easily from the pan.
Add the asparagus spears to the same pan around the salmon and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, tossing the spears occasionally until tender-crisp.
Remove the pan from the heat and finish by drizzling the fresh lemon juice and sprinkling lemon zest over both the salmon and asparagus before serving.
