One-Skillet Garlicky Salmon & Broccoli

Serves 4

Active Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 1/4 pounds skinless center-cut salmon fillet, cut into 1-inch pieces

8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced, divided

3/4 teaspoon salt, divided

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

5 cups broccoli florets

2 red bell peppers, chopped (2 cups)

1 tablespoon water

1 teaspoon grated orange zest

1 1/2 tablespoons orange juice

1 tablespoon reduced-sodium tamari

1 tablespoon thinly sliced scallions

1. Heat 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 1/2 teaspoon salt and crushed red pepper. Cook, uncovered, stirring and turning occasionally, until the salmon is opaque on all sides and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Using a fish spatula or tongs, transfer the salmon to a plate.

2. Without wiping the skillet clean, add broccoli, bell peppers, water, the remaining sliced garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in orange juice and tamari. Gently fold in the cooked salmon.

3. Divide among four shallow bowls; spoon any remaining liquid from the pan over the bowls. Sprinkle with orange zest and scallions.
