Ingredients
Scale
2 salmon fillets (fresh or frozen)
1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon of lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon of paprika
1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Start by gathering all your ingredients. Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and paprika. Brush this mixture over the salmon fillets generously to infuse flavor.
Place the trimmed asparagus on the same cutting board and drizzle with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss them to ensure they’re evenly coated.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a splash of olive oil. Ensure the pan is hot before adding the salmon to achieve a delightful sear.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Add the asparagus around the salmon. Cook for 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip the salmon. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is tender yet crisp.
