Pat the salmon fillet completely dry with paper towels to ensure the skin becomes crispy during searing.
Season the flesh side of the salmon evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the hot pan and press down gently with a spatula for 10 seconds to prevent curling.
Cook undisturbed for 5 minutes until the skin is golden and easily releases from the pan.
Carefully flip the salmon and add the asparagus spears to the empty spaces in the pan.
Sear the fish for another 3 minutes while tossing the asparagus in the remaining pan juices until tender-crisp.
Remove the pan from the heat and finish the dish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice over the salmon and vegetables.
