Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Brown Rice
Pan-seared wild salmon served alongside nutty brown rice and tender steamed asparagus, finished with a squeeze of zesty fresh lemon.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Wild Atlantic Salmon Fillet
0.5 cup Cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
Pinch of sea salt and black pepper
PREPARATION
Prepare the brown rice according to package instructions if not using pre-cooked rice.
Wash the asparagus and trim off the tough, woody ends.
Place the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 4-6 minutes until tender but still vibrant green.
While the asparagus steams, 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 skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon in the pan, skin-side down, and press gently with a spatula for 10 seconds to ensure even contact.
Sear the salmon for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Plate the seared salmon next to the brown rice and steamed asparagus.
Drizzle the entire dish with fresh lemon juice before serving.
