Seared Salmon with Roasted Asparagus and Lentil Salad
Pan-seared wild salmon served over a chilled herb-flecked lentil salad with oven-roasted asparagus, finished with a squeeze of zesty lemon.
INGREDIENTS
8.5 oz Wild Chum Salmon Fillet
1/3 cup Cooked Brown Lentils
5 spears Fresh Asparagus
1/2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus and place the spears on a baking sheet, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper.
Roast the asparagus for 10-12 minutes until they are tender but still have a vibrant green snap.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cooked lentils with fresh lemon juice, chopped parsley, and a pinch of sea salt.
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil, swirling to coat the pan.
Place the salmon in the pan and sear for 4 minutes until the edges are golden, then flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes until just opaque.
Plate the chilled lentil salad first, top with the warm seared salmon, and serve the roasted asparagus alongside.
