The combination of crispy salmon, rich garlic butter, and tender asparagus makes it an irresistible low-carb meal that’s full of flavor!
Ingredients (2 Servings)
2 salmon fillets (skin-on for extra crispiness)
2 tbsp butter (grass-fed preferred)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt & black pepper
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 cup asparagus, trimmed
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Salmon
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika to enhance the natural flavors.
Step 2: Sear the Salmon
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the salmon skin-side down and sear for about 4 minutes until the skin becomes crispy. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes until golden brown.
Step 3: Garlic Butter Magic
Reduce the heat and add butter and minced garlic to the pan. Let it sizzle for about 1 minute until fragrant. Spoon the melted butter over the salmon to enhance the flavor.
Step 4: Cook the Asparagus
Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside. Add the asparagus to the same pan, letting it soak up the garlic butter. Sauté for 3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Step 5: Final Touch
Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the salmon before serving for a refreshing finish. Serve hot with the asparagus on the side.
