Seared Salmon Fillet with Steamed Asparagus and Lemon
Pan-seared salmon fillet served with tender steamed asparagus and fresh lemon, finished with a bright and zesty citrus aroma.
INGREDIENTS
8 ounces Salmon Fillet
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
150 grams Asparagus
1/2 Lemon
1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with paper towels and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive 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 and sear for 4 to 5 minutes without moving it until the skin is golden and crisp.
While the salmon sears, place the asparagus in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water and steam for 3 to 5 minutes until vibrant green and tender-crisp.
Carefully flip the salmon fillet and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
Remove the salmon and asparagus from the heat and plate them immediately.
Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the salmon and asparagus and garnish with a little extra lemon zest if desired.
