Seared Salmon Fillet with Lentil and Asparagus Salad
Pan-seared salmon served over a hearty bed of protein-rich lentils and tender asparagus, finished with a bright lemon-herb vinaigrette and a satisfyingly crisp skin.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz Salmon Fillet
1.25 cups Cooked Lentils
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Rinse the lentils and simmer in water or vegetable broth until tender, then drain and set aside.
Blanch the asparagus in boiling water for two minutes until bright green, then immediately shock in ice water to stop the cooking.
Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic in a small bowl to create the vinaigrette.
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with paper towels and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the salmon skin-side down for 4-5 minutes until the skin is perfectly crisp.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the fish is flaky and cooked to your preference.
Toss the warm lentils and chilled asparagus with the lemon-herb vinaigrette.
Plate the lentil salad and top with the seared salmon fillet, garnishing with fresh herbs if desired.
