Seared Salmon Fillet with Roasted Asparagus and Lemon Zest
Golden pan-seared salmon served with tender roasted asparagus and bright lemon zest, finished with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Wild Atlantic Salmon Fillet
200g Asparagus spears
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/2 Lemon (zested and juiced)
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Snap the woody ends off the asparagus and place the spears on a baking sheet.
Drizzle the asparagus with half of the olive oil and toss with minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper.
Roast the asparagus for 10-12 minutes until tender but still retaining a slight snap.
While the asparagus roasts, pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and press gently with a spatula for 30 seconds to ensure even contact.
Sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is perfectly crispy, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the salmon is just opaque in the center.
Remove from heat and let the salmon rest for a minute.
Serve the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus, topping everything with fresh lemon zest and a bright squeeze of lemon juice.
