Pan-Seared Salmon
Ingredients
- 2 portions ButcherBox Farm-Raised Salmon
- ½ pound baby Yukon Gold potatoes halved
- 1 bunch asparagus cut into 3-inch pieces
- 1 lemon cut into wheels
- 4 shallots peeled and halved lengthwise
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon grapeseed vegetable or your favorite high heat oil
- To taste Butcher’s Anything Seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Take your salmon out of the fridge, remove from the packaging, and pat dry with paper towels. Transfer the salmon to a plate and allow it to sit on the counter to temper. This will allow the salmon to cook evenly.
- Place the potatoes and shallots into a mixing bowl, drizzle with half of the olive oil and a healthy pinch of Butcher’s Anything Seasoning; toss to combine.
- Lay the vegetables onto a sheet tray cut side down, ensuring that everything is in a single layer.
- Transfer to the oven and cook for 35 minutes, making sure to turn the sheet tray halfway through cooking.
- While the potatoes and shallots are cooking, toss the asparagus in the same mixing bowl with the remaining olive oil and another pinch of Butcher’s Anything Seasoning.
- After 35 minutes, ay the asparagus, lemon wheels, and salmon on top and transfer to the oven for 8 more minutes.
- Heat a saute pan over medium high heat.
- Add the grapeseed oil to the pan and continue heating until the oil is very hot and shimmering.
- Season the salmon fillets on all sides with salt and pepper. Add the salmon to the hot pan and then turn the heat down to medium.
- Continue to cook the salmon until the first side is deeply browned and delicious looking, about 3-4 minutes. Flip the salmon and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 135F.
- Remove that sheet pan of deliciousness from the oven, top with those perfectly cooked salmon fillets, and enjoy!
