Seared Salmon with Steamed Broccoli and Lentil Pilaf
Pan-seared salmon served over a savory lentil and herb pilaf with tender steamed broccoli, finished with a bright squeeze of zesty lemon.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Wild Atlantic Salmon Fillet
0.5 cup Cooked Brown Lentils
1.5 cups Broccoli Florets
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet 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 pan skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon cooks, steam the broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 5 minutes until tender-crisp.
In a small saucepan, combine the cooked lentils with minced garlic and a splash of water or broth, heating through for 2-3 minutes.
Stir half of the lemon juice into the lentils and plate them as a base for the salmon.
Serve the seared salmon over the lentil pilaf with the steamed broccoli on the side, drizzling the remaining lemon juice over the fish.
