INGREDIENTS

7 oz Salmon fillet

1 cup Asparagus

0.75 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.5 whole Lemon

1 tsp Garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Toss the asparagus on the baking sheet with half of the olive oil, garlic powder, and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.

• 3

  Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until the tips are slightly charred and the stalks are tender.

• 4

  While the vegetables roast, pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with the remaining sea salt and black pepper.

• 5

  Heat the remaining olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.

• 6

  Place the salmon skin-side down in the hot pan and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is exceptionally crispy.

• 7

  Carefully flip the fillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the salmon is just opaque in the center.

• 8

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