I could eat salmon every day of the week. I started eating seafood when hubby and I moved to Florida over 9 years ago. Before then, I never ate it. But now, I can’t get enough of it. Especially salmon. Salmon is high in protein and full of heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids. And, it is so easy to prepare. I love to grill it, pan fry it, broil it, bake it, you name it, I’ve done it.
This Pan Fried Salmon recipe is extremely easy to make and was inspired by Houlihan’s. Hubby and I used to go out to eat at Houlihan’s when we lived in Illinois. This recipe is made with asparagus, arugula and tomatoes but you can really substitute the vegetables with whatever you have in your fridge. Try it with broccoli or green beans and regular salad greens and you will have a very similar meal with amazing flavor!
Pan Fried Salmon with Asparagus & Arugula Recipe
Ingredients
2 6oz filets of salmon
10-15 spears of asparagus
10-15 cherry tomatoes, halved
A handful of arugula
Balsamic Vinaigrette Ingredients
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon chives, minced
1 teaspoon parsley, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup olive oil, extra virgin
salt
fresh ground black pepper
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
2. Drizzle the prepared asparagus with olive oil, spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper; bake for 25 minutes, turning once halfway through.
3. Heat a skillet with olive oil until pan is hot, then place salmon in and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on thickness. Salmon should easily flake with a fork when done.
4. In a glass bowl, mix all of the Balsamic Vinaigrette ingredients
4. Place a handful of arugula on plate, top with 5-6 asparagus spears and 5-6 tomatoes. Place salmon on top of salad and drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette.
Enjoy

My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
