Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Brown Rice
Pan-seared wild sockeye salmon served over nutty brown rice and tender steamed asparagus, finished with a squeeze of lemon and perfectly crispy skin.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Wild Sockeye Salmon
3/4 cup Cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1/4 tsp Sea Salt and Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and press gently with a spatula to ensure even contact for a crispy skin.
Sear the salmon for 4 to 5 minutes without moving it, then flip and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the center is just opaque.
While the salmon cooks, place the asparagus spears in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 3 to 4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Warm the pre-cooked brown rice in a small saucepan or microwave until steaming.
Plate the brown rice and top with the seared salmon, arranging the asparagus alongside.
Finish the dish with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the fish and vegetables.
