Golden Pan-Seared Salmon with Zesty Asparagus
Pan-seared salmon fillets develop a crispy, golden crust and are paired with vibrant, snap-tender asparagus finished with a bright lemon zest.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz salmon fillet
1 cup asparagus
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears and finely mince the garlic clove.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon in the pan and sear for 4-5 minutes without moving it to ensure a golden, crispy crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon fillet and add the asparagus and minced garlic to the empty spaces in the skillet.
Cook for another 3-4 minutes, tossing the asparagus occasionally, until the salmon is opaque and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
Remove the skillet from the heat, drizzle the lemon juice over the salmon and vegetables, and garnish with fresh lemon zest.
