Seared Salmon Fillet with Steamed Asparagus and Lentil Mash
Pan-seared salmon served over a creamy, fiber-rich lentil mash with tender steamed asparagus and a squeeze of fresh lemon for a bright, zesty finish.
INGREDIENTS
8 ounces Wild Salmon Fillet
3/4 cup Cooked Green Lentils
1 cup Asparagus Spears
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
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 extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon in the skillet skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until desired doneness.
While the salmon cooks, steam the asparagus spears in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green.
In a small saucepan, combine the cooked lentils with minced garlic and a tablespoon of water or low-sodium broth.
Warm the lentils over medium heat and use a fork or potato masher to lightly crush them into a thick, rustic mash.
Plate the lentil mash as a base, top with the seared salmon fillet and steamed asparagus, and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
