Pan-Seared Salmon with Asparagus and Nutty Brown Butter Sauce

This recipe features succulent salmon fillets paired with roasted asparagus and a rich, nutty brown butter sauce. The combination of almonds, pecans, and walnuts gives the sauce a wonderful depth of flavor and satisfying crunch.

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 10-12 minutes, until tender and lightly browned.
2. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped nuts and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the salmon fillets skin-side down for 4-5 minutes, until crisp. Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the salmon is cooked to your liking.
4. To serve, place the roasted asparagus on plates and top with the salmon fillets. Drizzle with the nutty brown butter sauce and garnish with additional chopped nuts, if desired. Enjoy!
