Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Brown Rice
Pan-seared sockeye salmon paired with tender steamed asparagus and nutty brown rice, finished with a bright and zesty lemon squeeze.
INGREDIENTS
6.5 ounces Sockeye Salmon Fillet
0.6 cup Cooked Brown Rice
10 spears Asparagus
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
0.5 Lemon
Sea Salt and Black Pepper to taste
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 in a basket 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 stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and sear for 4 minutes without moving it to ensure a crisp exterior.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F or your desired doneness.
Plate the salmon alongside the brown rice and steamed asparagus.
Finish the dish with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the fish and vegetables.
