Golden Pan-Seared Salmon with Asparagus
Pan-seared salmon fillet with a crispy golden skin served alongside tender-crisp asparagus spears finished with a bright and zesty lemon touch.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon fillet
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.5 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
Carefully place the salmon in the pan skin-side down, pressing gently with a spatula for 10 seconds to ensure even contact for a crispy finish.
Arrange the trimmed asparagus spears in the empty spaces of the pan around the salmon, seasoning them lightly with a tiny pinch of salt.
Cook the salmon for 4-5 minutes without moving it, then carefully flip the fillet and toss the asparagus to ensure even browning.
Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the salmon is opaque and the asparagus is tender-crisp with slight char marks.
Remove the pan from heat, drizzle the salmon and asparagus with fresh lemon juice, and garnish with lemon zest before serving.
