Golden Pan-Seared Salmon with Zesty Cucumber-Tomato Salad
Pan-seared salmon fillet featuring a crispy golden crust served alongside a refreshing cucumber and tomato salad tossed in a zesty lemon-herb dressing.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon fillet
2 tsp Olive oil
1 cup Cucumber
0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp Red onion
1 tsp Lemon juice
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
PREPARATION
In a medium bowl, combine the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and minced red onion.
Whisk together 1 tsp of olive oil, the lemon juice, and chopped fresh parsley, then toss with the vegetables and a pinch of the salt and pepper.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with the garlic powder and the remaining salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining 1 tsp of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes without moving it until the skin is beautifully crisp and golden.
Carefully flip the fillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer the hot salmon to a plate and serve immediately with the chilled zesty cucumber-tomato salad on the side.
