Seared Salmon Fillet with Steamed Asparagus and Brown Rice
Pan-seared wild sockeye salmon served over fluffy brown rice with tender steamed asparagus, finished with a bright and zesty lemon squeeze.
INGREDIENTS
6.5 ounces Wild Sockeye Salmon Fillet
0.5 cup Cooked Brown Rice
1 cup Steamed Asparagus Spears
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
0.25 teaspoon Sea Salt
0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Prepare the brown rice according to package instructions and set aside to keep warm.
Trim the woody ends from the asparagus and steam in a basket over boiling water for about 5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel to ensure a good sear and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a heavy-bottomed or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and press gently with a spatula to ensure even contact, searing for 4 to 5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Flip the fillet and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the salmon reaches your desired level of doneness.
Arrange the fluffy brown rice and steamed asparagus on a plate, top with the seared salmon, and finish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
