Pan-Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Brown Rice
Crispy-skinned salmon fillet seared to perfection, served with nutty brown rice and tender asparagus spears finished with a bright squeeze of zesty lemon.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Wild Atlantic Salmon fillet
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 cup steamed Asparagus
1 tsp Avocado Oil
1 tbsp fresh Lemon Juice
Pinch of sea salt and black pepper
PREPARATION
Cook the brown rice in a small pot with water according to package directions until all liquid is absorbed and grains are tender.
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel to ensure a better sear and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the avocado oil in a stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down, pressing lightly with a spatula for 10 seconds to prevent curling, and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp.
Carefully flip the salmon fillet and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the center is just opaque and reaches your desired doneness.
While the salmon finishes, steam the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4-5 minutes until it reaches a vibrant green color and tender-crisp texture.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the nutty brown rice and steamed asparagus, finishing the entire dish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
