Golden Pan-Seared Salmon with Zesty Asparagus
Pan-seared salmon fillets with a crisp, golden crust served alongside tender-crisp asparagus tossed in a bright and zesty lemon-garlic infusion.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz salmon fillet
1.5 cup asparagus spears
0.25 tbsp 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 completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and mince the garlic clove.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the hot pan and press gently with a spatula for 10 seconds to ensure even contact.
Sear the salmon for 4-5 minutes without moving it until the skin is golden and crispy, then carefully flip.
Add the asparagus and minced garlic to the empty spaces in the pan, sautéing the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Remove the pan from heat and drizzle the lemon juice and lemon zest over the salmon and asparagus.
Transfer to a plate and serve immediately while the salmon is flaky and the asparagus is vibrant.
