Spiced Citrus Salmon with Roasted Asparagus and Toasted Almonds

A vibrant and flavorful dish featuring pan-seared salmon coated in a tangy citrus glaze, accompanied by roasted asparagus and crunchy toasted almonds.

Ingredients:

  • 4 Salmon filets (6 oz each)
  • 1 bunch Asparagus, trimmed
  • 1/4 cup Almonds, sliced
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp Orange juice
  • 1 tsp Ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp Honey
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss asparagus with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 12-15 minutes until tender-crisp.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, orange juice, ginger, honey, paprika, salt, and pepper to make the glaze.

  3. Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon filets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.

  4. Brush glaze over salmon during the last minute of cooking.

  5. While salmon is cooking, toast almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden.

  6. Serve salmon immediately topped with toasted almonds and roasted asparagus.
