Pan-Seared Salmon with Lemon-Herb Rice
Pan-seared salmon fillet with a crisp golden crust served over zesty lemon-herb basmati rice and tender roasted asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz salmon fillet
0.5 cup cooked basmati rice
1.5 cup asparagus spears
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the pan and sear for 4 to 5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
While the salmon cooks, toss the warm cooked rice with fresh lemon juice and finely chopped parsley in a small bowl.
Steam or lightly sauté the asparagus spears in a separate pan with a splash of water until they are tender-crisp and vibrant green.
Plate the lemon-herb rice, top it with the pan-seared salmon, and serve alongside the prepared asparagus.
