Pan-Seared Atlantic Salmon Fillet
Pan-seared salmon fillet with a crispy golden skin served alongside tender lemon-garlic asparagus for a vibrant and nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Atlantic salmon fillet
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup asparagus spears
1 whole garlic clove
0.5 whole lemon
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried dill
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with paper towels and season both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and dried dill.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering but not smoking.
Carefully place the salmon skin-side down in the pan and press gently with a flat spatula for 10 seconds to prevent the skin from curling.
Sear for 4-5 minutes without moving the fish to ensure the skin becomes perfectly crispy and golden.
Flip the fillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the salmon is opaque and reaches an internal temperature of 125-130°F for medium-rare.
Remove the salmon from the pan to rest; meanwhile, add the trimmed asparagus and minced garlic to the same pan, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Serve the salmon immediately with the sautéed asparagus and a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
