Your Sunday meal just leveled up. We’re roasting wild asparagus to perfection, pan-searing tender salmon with a lemon twist, and finishing with a cucumber sauce so good you might consider bathing in it.

🌿 THE MAIN EVENT: Pan-Seared Glory Salmon

🧂 Ingredients:

• 2 wild-caught salmon fillets (6 oz each, skin on or off)
• 1–2 tbsp ghee or butter (no oils)
• Real salt (Himalayan or Redmond preferred)
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Optional: garlic powder, smoked paprika, lemon zest
• 1 lemon, cut into wedges
• Fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or thyme – optional)

🔪 Instructions:

Prep the Fish
Pat salmon dry with paper towels.
Season both sides with salt and pepper. Add garlic powder or paprika if desired.

Preheat Oven
Set oven to 400°F (200°C).

Sear the Salmon
Heat a cast iron skillet (or other oven-safe pan) over medium-high heat.
Add ghee or butter (no olive oil). Once hot, place salmon skin-side down (or presentation side down if skinless).
Sear without moving for 3–4 minutes to create a golden crust.

Flip and Finish in the Oven
Gently flip the salmon.
Transfer skillet to the oven. Bake for 4–6 minutes, depending on thickness.
Internal temp should reach 125°F for medium, or 145°F for well-done.

Rest and Serve
​Remove from oven and squeeze lemon over the top.
Let rest for 2 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if using.
