Pan-Seared Salmon with Fresh Herb Salad
Pan-seared salmon fillets with a crisp, golden skin served alongside a bright, zesty herb salad tossed in a light lemon vinaigrette.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon fillet
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
2 cup Baby arugula
0.25 cup Fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tbsp Fresh dill
1 tbsp Fresh mint
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
0.25 tsp Lemon zest
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat half of the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
Place the salmon in the pan, skin-side down, and press lightly with a spatula for 30 seconds to ensure even contact.
Sear for 4-5 minutes without moving the fillet, until the skin is very crispy and the flesh is cooked halfway up the side.
Carefully flip the fillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the salmon reaches your desired level of doneness.
While the salmon rests, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a medium bowl.
Add the baby arugula, parsley, dill, and mint to the bowl and toss gently to coat the leaves in the dressing.
Plate the fresh herb salad and top with the warm pan-seared salmon fillet.
