Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Sweet Potato Mash
Pan-seared wild salmon served with a creamy sweet potato mash and tender steamed asparagus, finished with a squeeze of zesty fresh lemon.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Wild Salmon Fillet
150g Sweet Potato (peeled and cubed)
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (for juice)
Pinch of Sea Salt and Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a pot of boiling water and cook for 10-12 minutes until fork-tender.
While potatoes cook, place a steamer basket over another pot of simmering water and steam the asparagus for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with 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 crispy.
Flip the salmon and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them thoroughly, adding a splash of the potato cooking water if needed for a smoother consistency.
Plate the sweet potato mash alongside the steamed asparagus and the seared salmon.
Finish the dish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice over the salmon and asparagus before serving.
