Lemon Garlic Asparagus:
- 1 bunch asparagus trimmed
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or algae oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- zest of 1 lemon
- sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
Garlic-Lemon Salmon:
- 1-1/2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound salmon cut into 2 or 3 fillets
- 2 cloves garlic
- ½ tablespoons lemon juiced (about 2 )
- sea salt
Prepare the asparagus:
Heat olive oil and butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus and cook, stirring occasionally for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and lemon zest and continue cooking another 2 to 5 minutes, depending on your desired level of done-ness (I like my asparagus al dente). Sprinkle with sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste.
Prepare the salmon:
Heat a medium-sized non-stick skillet to medium-high and add the butter and olive oil. Sprinkle the salmon fillet with sea salt and place on the hot skillet, skin-side up. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes (depending on thickness of fish), and carefully flip to the other side. Cook 3 minutes, add the garlic and lemon juice and cook another 2 to 3 minutes, until salmon is cooked through but still moist.
