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
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add salmon pieces and half the sliced garlic in an even layer, then sprinkle with salt and crushed red pepper.
- Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the salmon is opaque and just cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the salmon to a plate.
- In the same skillet, add broccoli, chopped bell peppers, water, remaining garlic, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally until tender-crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in orange juice and tamari, gently fold in the cooked salmon, and serve in shallow bowls, spooning remaining liquid over top.
- Garnish with orange zest and sliced scallions.
Notes
This dish is best served fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Adjust the level of crushed red pepper to suit your spice preference.
For a more vibrant flavor, try adding lemon zest in place of orange zest.
