INGREDIENTS

7 oz Atlantic salmon fillet

1 cup asparagus spears

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp fresh parsley

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them on the baking sheet, tossing with 0.5 tsp of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

• 3

  Roast the asparagus for 10-12 minutes until tender but still vibrant green.

• 4

  While the asparagus roasts, pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel to ensure a perfect sear.

• 5

  Season the salmon on both sides with the remaining salt, pepper, and the garlic powder.

• 6

  Heat the remaining 0.5 tsp of olive oil in a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

• 7

  Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and press lightly with a spatula; sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.

• 8

  Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.

• 9

  Plate the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus, then finish both with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
