Seared Salmon Fillet with Steamed Asparagus and Herb Cottage Cheese
Pan-seared salmon fillet paired with tender steamed asparagus and a chive-infused cottage cheese, finished with a squeeze of bright, zesty lemon.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 ounces Salmon Fillet
1 cup Asparagus spears
0.5 cup 2% Cottage Cheese
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon fresh Dill, chopped
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the pan and sear for 4-5 minutes without moving it to ensure the skin becomes crispy.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 125-130°F for medium.
While the salmon is searing, place the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, fold the chopped fresh dill and lemon juice into the cottage cheese.
Plate the crispy salmon alongside the steamed asparagus and serve with the herb-infused cottage cheese on the side.
