Method
For the Seared Salmon
Prepare the Salmon
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. This helps to get a nice sear.
Season the Salmon
Season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper.
Heat the Oil
In a non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Sear the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving them, until the skin is crispy and browned.
Flip and Finish Cooking
Carefully flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through but still moist.
Add Lemon
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon just before serving for added flavor.
For the Seasonal Vegetables
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash and slice the zucchini and bell pepper into thin strips. Trim the asparagus ends.
Sauté Garlic
In another skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Cook the Vegetables
Add the zucchini, bell pepper, and asparagus to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper.
Sauté Until Tender
Cook the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still crisp.
Serve
Remove the vegetables from heat and serve alongside the seared salmon.
