Seared Salmon Fillet with Lentil and Asparagus Salad
Pan-seared salmon served over a hearty bed of earthy lentils and tender asparagus, finished with a bright lemon-herb vinaigrette for a zesty pop of flavor.
INGREDIENTS
9 ounces Salmon Fillet
1.25 cups Cooked Lentils
1 cup Asparagus, chopped
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels and season both sides with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the pan and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until desired doneness.
While the salmon cooks, steam or blanch the chopped asparagus for 3 minutes until tender-crisp, then drain.
In a medium bowl, toss the cooked lentils and asparagus with the lemon juice and a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or dill.
Place the lentil and asparagus salad on a plate and top with the seared salmon fillet.
Serve immediately while the salmon is warm and the salad is bright.
