Prepare the brown rice according to package directions or use pre-cooked rice for efficiency.
Trim the woody ends from the asparagus and steam over boiling water for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt and cracked pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and sear for 4 minutes without moving it to develop a golden crust.
Flip the fillet carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flaky.
Plate the rice and asparagus, top with the seared salmon, and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
