Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
Carefully place the salmon in the skillet and sear for 4 to 5 minutes until a golden crust forms, then flip and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until opaque throughout.
While the salmon is searing, steam the asparagus spears in a steamer basket for 3 to 5 minutes until they are vibrant green and crisp-tender.
In a small mixing bowl, fluff the warm cooked white rice and fold in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and finely chopped parsley.
Place the lemon-herb rice on a plate, top with the pan-seared salmon fillet, and serve the steamed asparagus on the side.
