INGREDIENTS

6.5 oz Salmon fillet

1.5 cup Asparagus spears

1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.5 tsp Garlic powder

0.5 tsp Smoked paprika

0.5 whole Lemon

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus and place the spears on the baking sheet, tossing with half of the olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

• 3

  Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred at the tips.

• 4

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

• 5

  Season the salmon on both sides with the garlic powder, smoked paprika, and the remaining sea salt and black pepper.

• 6

  Heat the remaining olive oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 7

  Place the salmon in the pan and sear for 4-5 minutes on the first side until a golden crust forms, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until opaque.

• 8

  Plate the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and finish the dish with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
