INGREDIENTS

7 oz Salmon

1 cup Asparagus

2 tsp Extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.5 whole Lemon

1 clove Garlic

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place the spears on the baking sheet.

• 3

  Drizzle the asparagus with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, add the minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and pepper, then toss to coat evenly.

• 4

  Roast the asparagus in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred at the tips.

• 5

  While the asparagus roasts, pat the salmon dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy sear.

• 6

  Season both sides of the salmon with the remaining salt and pepper.

• 7

  Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

• 8

  Once the pan is hot, place the salmon in the skillet and sear for 4 to 5 minutes without moving it to develop a golden crust.

• 9

  Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

• 10

  Plate the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and finish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice over everything.
