Seared Salmon with Steamed Asparagus and Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Pan-seared salmon served over creamy garlic mashed potatoes with a side of tender asparagus and a squeeze of bright lemon.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Wild Atlantic Salmon
150g Yukon Gold Potatoes
100g Fresh Asparagus
1 tsp Ghee
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Pinch of Sea Salt and Black Pepper
1 Lemon wedge
PREPARATION
Peel and dice the potatoes into uniform chunks and place them in a pot of cold salted water with the smashed garlic clove.
Bring the potatoes to a boil and cook for 12-15 minutes until fork-tender, then drain and mash with the ghee and a splash of potato water if needed for creaminess.
While potatoes cook, trim the woody ends off the asparagus and steam them for 4-6 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the pan and sear for 4-5 minutes without moving it to ensure a golden crust.
Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 125-130°F for medium-rare.
Plate the garlic mash and asparagus alongside the salmon and finish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
