Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Brown Rice
Pan-seared wild sockeye salmon served over nutty brown rice and tender asparagus, finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
INGREDIENTS
8 ounces Wild Sockeye Salmon fillet
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 cup fresh Asparagus spears
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon fresh Lemon Juice
Pinch of flaky sea salt and black pepper
PREPARATION
Prepare the brown rice according to package instructions or use pre-cooked rice warmed through.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and steam over boiling water for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green.
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the pan and sear for 4 minutes without moving it to ensure a crispy texture.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 125-130°F for medium-rare.
Plate the salmon alongside the brown rice and steamed asparagus.
Drizzle the entire dish with fresh lemon juice and finish with an extra sprinkle of flaky sea salt before serving.
