Pan-Seared Salmon with Roasted Asparagus
Pan-seared salmon fillets with a crisp, golden skin served alongside tender-crisp roasted asparagus spears finished with a bright, zesty squeeze of lemon.
INGREDIENTS
6.5 oz salmon fillet
1.5 cup asparagus
1.5 tsp olive oil
1 tsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss the spears directly on the baking sheet with 0.75 tsp of olive oil, a pinch of sea salt, and black pepper.
Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred at the tips.
While the vegetables roast, pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with garlic powder, remaining sea salt, and black pepper.
Heat the remaining 0.75 tsp of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed 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 10 seconds to ensure even contact; sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is shatteringly crisp.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily.
Plate the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and finish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice over everything.
