Seared Salmon Fillet with Brown Rice and Steamed Asparagus
Pan-seared salmon served over nutty brown rice and tender asparagus, finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
INGREDIENTS
9 ounces Salmon Fillet
1.4 cups Cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Prepare the brown rice according to package instructions and keep warm.
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
Season both sides of the salmon generously with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon in the skillet skin-side down and press gently with a spatula for thirty seconds.
Sear the salmon for four to five minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
Carefully flip the fillet and cook for another three to four minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
While the salmon finishes, steam the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water for three to five minutes until tender-crisp.
Fluff the brown rice with a fork and plate it alongside the steamed asparagus.
Top the rice with the seared salmon and finish the entire dish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
