Seared Salmon Fillet with Steamed Asparagus and Brown Rice
Pan-seared wild salmon served over nutty brown rice with a side of tender steamed asparagus, finished with a squeeze of bright lemon and a pinch of flaky sea salt.
INGREDIENTS
6.5 ounces Wild Salmon Fillet
0.5 cup Cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Asparagus spears, trimmed
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
Pinch of Sea Salt and Black Pepper
PREPARATION
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 stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and press gently with a spatula for 10 seconds to ensure the skin becomes extra crispy.
Cook the salmon for 4 to 5 minutes without moving it, then carefully flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the center is just opaque.
While the salmon cooks, place the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 3 to 5 minutes until vibrant green and tender-crisp.
Warm the pre-cooked brown rice and fluff it with a fork before placing it on the serving plate.
Arrange the seared salmon and steamed asparagus over the bed of rice and finish the entire dish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
