Seared Salmon Fillet with Steamed Asparagus and Brown Rice
Pan-seared wild salmon served over nutty brown rice and tender asparagus, finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
INGREDIENTS
8 ounces Wild Atlantic Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Steamed Asparagus
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
Pinch of Sea Salt and Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Prepare the brown rice according to package instructions or reheat pre-cooked rice until steaming.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and steam for 4-6 minutes until tender-crisp and vibrant green.
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel to ensure a perfect sear 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 the oil shimmers.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and press gently with a spatula for 30 seconds to prevent curling.
Sear the salmon for 4-5 minutes on the skin side until crispy, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 125-130°F for medium-rare.
Plate the salmon alongside the brown rice and steamed asparagus.
Drizzle the entire dish with fresh lemon juice and an extra sprinkle of flaky sea salt before serving.
