Ingredients:
1 medium Salmon Fillet
12 pieces Asparagus
1 tbsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Minced Garlic
0.5 cup Vegetable Broth
1 tbsp Butter
0.5 medium Lemon (Juice)
1 tbsp Minced Parsley
How to Prepare:
1️⃣ Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Let it sit while you prepare the asparagus.
2️⃣ Wash and trim the ends of the asparagus, then blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Afterward, soak them in ice water to stop cooking. This way, they will cook faster and evenly in the skillet. You can skip this step if you have very thin asparagus. Drain and set aside.
3️⃣ Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Gently cook the salmon on both sides until golden brown. Remove the salmon fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
4️⃣ In the same skillet over medium heat, add minced garlic, then deglaze with vegetable broth (or wine). Bring it to a simmer. Add butter, lemon juice, hot sauce, and parsley. Give it a quick stir to combine.
5️⃣ Add the drained blanched asparagus and toss for 2 minutes to cook them up. Add the salmon back to the pan and reheat for another minute. Garnish with more parsley, crushed chili pepper, and lemon slices, and serve the garlic butter salmon and lemon asparagus immediately.
Enjoy 😉
