Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Brown Rice
Pan-seared wild salmon served over nutty brown rice and tender asparagus, featuring a perfectly golden and crispy skin.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Wild Atlantic Salmon Fillet
0.5 cup Cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Asparagus Spears
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Fresh Lemon Juice
Pinch of Sea Salt and Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Cook the brown rice according to package instructions until tender and set aside.
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear, then season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a stainless steel 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 prevent curling.
Sear the salmon for 4-5 minutes without moving it until the skin is golden and crispy.
While the salmon sears, steam the asparagus spears for 4-5 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 125-130°F for medium-rare.
Plate the salmon over the warm brown rice with the steamed asparagus on the side.
Finish the dish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice over the fish and vegetables.
