Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Brown Rice
Pan-seared sockeye salmon served over nutty brown rice and tender-crisp steamed asparagus, finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
INGREDIENTS
6.5 ounces Sockeye Salmon Fillet
0.5 cup Cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Asparagus
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Prepare the brown rice according to package directions or reheat pre-cooked rice until fluffy.
Trim the tough woody ends from the asparagus spears and steam them over boiling water for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a medium non-stick 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 the skin becomes crispy.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Arrange the brown rice and steamed asparagus on a plate, top with the seared salmon, and drizzle the entire dish with fresh lemon juice before serving.
