Ingredients
- 12 asparagus spears
- 3 tbsp olive oil divided
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 14 cherry tomatoes or plum tomatoes
- 2 salmon filets
- 3 cups salad greens mixed
- 2 tbsp feta cheese
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Balsamic Vinaigrette
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar aged
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp honey
- 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat 1-2 tbsp of olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Add the asparagus, season with salt and pepper and sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until tender. Remove the asparagus to a plate.
- Add one tablespoon of olive oil to the same sauté pan cook the tomatoes on medium heat. Let them sit for 2 minutes, to blister, before stirring. Then stir and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove the tomatoes to a plate.
- Add the salmon to the same sauté pan (adding additional olive oil if necessary) and cook on medium heat, skin side down, for 2-3 minutes. Season the top side with salt and pepper. Flip the salmon and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until barely cooked through.
- To serve, divide the salad greens between two plates. Add a piece of salmon, half the asparagus and tomatoes. Top with a sprinkling of feta cheese and drizzle with dressing.
