Pan-Seared Salmon with Lemon-Dill Sauce
Pan-seared salmon fillet with a crisp golden skin served under a velvety lemon-dill yogurt sauce with a side of snap-tender asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz salmon fillet
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp fresh dill
1 tsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 cup asparagus
1 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season the flesh side with half of the sea salt and black pepper.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, and garlic powder until smooth.
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.
Place the salmon fillet skin-side down in the pan and press firmly with a spatula for 10 seconds to prevent curling and ensure a crispy skin.
Sear the salmon undisturbed for 4-5 minutes, then flip carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 125-130°F.
While the salmon rests, steam the asparagus spears for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp, then season with the remaining salt and pepper.
Plate the salmon alongside the asparagus and spoon the chilled lemon-dill sauce generously over the fish.
