Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Herbed Brown Rice
Pan-seared wild salmon served over fluffy herbed brown rice and tender steamed asparagus, finished with a squeeze of bright, zesty lemon.
INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Wild Salmon Fillet
0.5 cup Cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon chopped Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Prepare the brown rice according to package instructions if not already cooked, then fluff with a fork and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and steam the spears over boiling water for 3-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp and bright green.
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and press gently with a spatula for 10 seconds to ensure even contact.
Sear the salmon for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Plate the herbed brown rice and steamed asparagus alongside the salmon.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the salmon and vegetables just before serving for a fresh finish.
