INGREDIENTS

7 oz salmon fillet

1 cup asparagus

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

0.5 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 whole lemon

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss the spears with 0.5 tbsp of the olive oil, 0.25 tsp of the sea salt, and all of the garlic powder.

• 3

  Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

• 4

  While the asparagus roasts, pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with the remaining sea salt and the black pepper.

• 5

  Heat the remaining 0.5 tbsp of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 6

  Carefully place the salmon skin-side down in the pan and sear for 4-5 minutes without moving it to ensure the skin becomes crispy.

• 7

  Flip the salmon fillet over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

• 8

  Plate the salmon immediately alongside the roasted asparagus and finish the dish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
