Seared Salmon Fillet with Steamed Asparagus and Brown Rice
Pan-seared salmon fillet served with tender steamed asparagus and nutty brown rice, finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon Fillet
0.5 cup Cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tsp Avocado Oil
1 Lemon wedge
Pinch of Sea Salt and Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Prepare the brown rice according to package instructions or use pre-cooked rice and warm it through.
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel to ensure a proper sear, then season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the avocado oil in a stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
Place the salmon fillet skin-side down in the hot skillet and press down lightly with a spatula for 10 seconds to prevent curling.
Sear the salmon for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp, then carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes for medium doneness.
While the salmon is searing, place the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 3-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Arrange the nutty brown rice and steamed asparagus on a plate.
Place the salmon fillet on top and finish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice and an extra sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
