Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1¼ pounds skinless center-cut salmon fillet, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced, divided
- ¾ teaspoon salt, divided
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 5 cups broccoli florets
- 2 red bell peppers, seeded and chopped (2 cups)
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 1½ tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium tamari
- 1 tablespoon thinly sliced scallions
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet with a lid over medium-high heat.
- Add salmon pieces and half of the sliced garlic in an even layer. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt and crushed red pepper.
- Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the salmon is opaque on all sides and just cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the salmon to a plate using a fish spatula or tongs.
- Without cleaning the skillet, add broccoli, chopped bell peppers, 1 tablespoon of water, the remaining garlic, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, which should take about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1½ tablespoons orange juice and 1 tablespoon tamari. Gently fold in the cooked salmon.
- Divide the mix among 4 shallow bowls, spooning any remaining liquid from the pan over the bowls. Sprinkle with grated orange zest and scallions.
Notes
For more flavor, try adding different vegetables to the skillet alongside the broccoli and bell peppers.
Fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro can be sprinkled on top for added freshness.
You can substitute the salmon with another fish or protein if preferred.
