Seared Salmon Fillet with Steamed Asparagus and Brown Rice
Pan-seared wild salmon served over nutty brown rice and tender steamed asparagus, finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Wild Atlantic Salmon
0.4 cup cooked Brown Rice
1.5 cups Asparagus spears
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic, minced
PREPARATION
Prepare the brown rice according to package instructions or use pre-cooked rice to save time.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and steam the spears 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 a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick 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 the skin becomes crispy.
Carefully flip the fillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily.
Remove from heat and let the salmon rest for a minute while you toss the steamed asparagus with minced garlic and lemon juice.
Serve the seared salmon over the bed of brown rice with the asparagus on the side, finishing with an extra squeeze of lemon if desired.
