Pan-Seared Salmon with Asparagus

Method

1. 1

   Pat the salmon very dry and season the skin generously with salt.

2. 2

   Heat a cast-iron pan over medium-high with a tablespoon of oil. Lay the salmon skin-side down and press gently for 30 seconds. Cook undisturbed for 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Flip the salmon and cook another 2–3 minutes for medium. Squeeze half the lemon over the top and rest.

4. 4

   In the same pan, add the rest of the oil, garlic, and asparagus. Toss for 3–4 minutes until just tender and bright green.

5. 5

   Plate the salmon with the asparagus and finish with the remaining lemon and flaky salt.
