Salmon With Asparagus and Cherry Tomatoes image

This is an easy recipe I saw demonstrated at Central Market in Austin. I tried it at home and it is very easy, quick and delicious. I like serving this with white rice cooked in chicken broth.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb salmon fillet (skinless)
2 cups asparagus, cut into 1 inch pieces (about 8 spears)
2 cups cherry tomatoes, cut into quarters (about 10)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1/2 a lemon)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat 1 T of the Olive Oil in a saute pan. Add asparagus pieces and saute over medium heat until tender. Add a pinch of kosher salt and set aside.
  • Rinse the Salmon fillet in cold water and pat dry with paper towel.
  • Heat remaining 1 T of Olive Oil and in a large frying pan. Add butter and place Salmon in pan, skin side up. Add a pinch of kosher salt salt to the salmon, and cook for 3 minutes. Do not move the fillets, so that a sear forms.
  • Turn the fillet over and lower heat to medium. Cook for 3 more minutes.
  • Add the asparagus, cherry tomatoes and lemon juice to the pan. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes over medium heat until fish flakes and appears evenly done in the middle.
  • Serve salmon with asparagus and tomatoes and spoon some of the pan sauce over the fish.
