Pan-Seared Salmon with Roasted Asparagus
Pan-seared salmon fillets featuring a perfectly crispy skin are served alongside tender roasted asparagus spears finished with a bright squeeze of fresh lemon.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon fillet
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.5 whole Lemon
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss the spears on the baking sheet with half of the olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
Roast the asparagus for 12 to 15 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred at the tips.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with the remaining salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the pan and press gently with a spatula to ensure even contact; sear for 4 to 5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
Carefully flip the fillet and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Plate the salmon alongside the roasted asparagus and finish with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
