Seared Salmon with Roasted Cauliflower and Lentil Salad
Pan-seared salmon served over a warm bed of earthy lentils and roasted cauliflower, finished with a squeeze of lemon and crisp, golden skin.
INGREDIENTS
8 ounces Wild Atlantic Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Lentils
1.5 cups Cauliflower Florets
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the cauliflower florets with half of the olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper, then roast for 20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While cauliflower roasts, pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season the skin side with salt.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the hot pan and press gently with a spatula for 10 seconds to ensure even contact.
Sear the salmon for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until desired doneness is reached.
In a small bowl, toss the warm cooked lentils and roasted cauliflower with lemon juice and fresh chopped parsley if desired.
Plate the lentil and cauliflower salad and top with the seared salmon fillet.
