Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets skin removed
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 3.5 ounces asparagus
- 2 ounces green peas fresh or frozen
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp lemon zest
- ¾ cup vegetable broth
- 2 tbsp chopped dill
Instructions
- Pat salmon fillets dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Squeeze about 1/2 tsp of lemon juice over each fillet.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Place the salmon fillets and cook, undisturbed, for 3 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and cook for 2 minutes. Remove fillets and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium and add butter. Add garlic and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add asparagus and peas, cook for 2 minutes. Add lemon juice and zest, then deglaze the pan with vegetable broth, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer and let reduce by a half, about 5 minutes. Taste test and season with salt and pepper, add more lemon juice if desired.
- Transfer salmon fillets back to the skillet and simmer until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Top with lemon slices and chopped dill. Enjoy.
