Seared Salmon with Sautéed Asparagus and Corn

One of our favorite summer recipes with seafood (especially seared salmon). Seared Salmon with Sautéed Asparagus and Corn is a little buttery, a little vinegary, and a little lemony. The bright, beautiful colors and fresh flavors are a great compliment to the simply Seared Salmon filets. The best part is the entire meal comes in at under 300-calories. Everything about this recipe is healthy, quick, and easy, it’s summer on a plate in 30-minutes
