Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Lemon Zest
Pan-seared salmon fillet served with tender steamed asparagus and a bright lemon-garlic finish, topped with fragrant zest.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon Fillet
1.5 cups Asparagus spears
1.5 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon, zested and juiced
1 clove Garlic, minced
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon in the pan, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for 4-5 minutes until the exterior is golden and crisp.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is searing, place the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Remove the asparagus and immediately toss with the minced garlic and fresh lemon juice.
Serve the salmon alongside the asparagus and garnish the entire dish with the fresh lemon zest for a bright finish.
