Seared Salmon Fillet with Lentil Salad and Steamed Asparagus
Pan-seared salmon served over a zesty lentil salad with tender steamed asparagus, finished with a squeeze of bright lemon and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
INGREDIENTS
10 ounces Salmon Fillet
3/4 cup Cooked Lentils
1 cup Asparagus
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
1 tablespoon finely diced Red Onion
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon chopped Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Steam the asparagus spears for 3 to 5 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp, then set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked lentils, diced red onion, chopped parsley, and lemon juice to create the salad base.
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon in the hot pan and sear for 4 to 5 minutes on the first side until a golden-brown crust forms.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Plate the warm lentil salad, top with the seared salmon fillet, and serve with the steamed asparagus on the side.
