INGREDIENTS

7 oz Salmon fillet

1 cup Asparagus

0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.25 tsp Garlic powder

0.5 whole Lemon

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus and toss the spears with 0.25 tbsp of olive oil, half the salt, and half the pepper.

• 3

  Spread the asparagus in a single layer and roast for 10-12 minutes until tender and vibrant.

• 4

  Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel to ensure a crispy sear.

• 5

  Season the salmon on all sides with the remaining salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

• 6

  Heat the remaining 0.25 tbsp of olive oil in a stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

• 7

  Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and press gently with a spatula for 30 seconds to prevent curling.

• 8

  Sear for 4-5 minutes without moving it until the skin is golden and releases easily from the pan.

• 9

  Flip the fillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily.

• 10

  Plate the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
