Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Brown Rice
Pan-seared salmon fillet served with nutty brown rice and tender steamed asparagus, finished with a squeeze of bright lemon and a pinch of flaky sea salt.
INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Wild Atlantic Salmon Fillet
0.5 cup Cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Asparagus Spears
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
0.5 medium Lemon
PREPARATION
Cook the brown rice according to package directions or prepare pre-cooked rice to save time.
Wash the asparagus and trim the tough, woody ends from the bottom of the stalks.
Place the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes without moving it to ensure the skin becomes crispy.
Carefully flip the fillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through and opaque.
Plate the salmon alongside the brown rice and steamed asparagus, finishing the dish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
