Buttery flaked salmon and asparagus over brown rice with a squeeze of lemon — a balanced, satisfying bowl that eats light but keeps you full.

Ingredients

  • 2 fillets salmon fillets
  • 1.25 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 bunch asparagus, cut in pieces
  • 1.5 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1.5 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Season the salmon with salt and sear in a lightly oiled skillet over medium-high for 3 minutes per side until it flakes easily, then remove and flake into large pieces.
  2. Add the butter, minced garlic, and asparagus pieces to the same skillet and cook 4 minutes until the asparagus is crisp-tender and coated in garlic butter.
  3. Stir the lemon juice into the warm brown rice and divide between two bowls.
  4. Top the rice with the flaked salmon and garlicky asparagus, spooning any pan butter over the top.
