INGREDIENTS

7 oz Salmon fillet

1 cup Asparagus

2 tsp Extra virgin olive oil

0.5 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

  Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus and toss the spears on the baking sheet with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, minced garlic, and half of the salt and pepper.

• 3

  Roast the asparagus for 10 to 12 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized at the tips.

• 4

  While the asparagus roasts, pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel to ensure the skin becomes incredibly crispy during searing.

• 5

  Season the salmon on all sides with the remaining salt and pepper.

• 6

  Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until it just begins to shimmer.

• 7

  Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and sear for 4 to 5 minutes without moving it to develop a deep golden crust.

• 8

  Carefully flip the fillet and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

• 9

  Serve the salmon immediately alongside the roasted asparagus and finish with a bright squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the entire plate.
