Description

Tasty, wholesome, and super simple, this steamed salmon dish with broccoli can be served over brown rice or quinoa.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 (8 ounce) salmon fillets
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups fresh broccoli
1 lemon, cut in half

Directions

1 Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic and cook until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
2 Sprinkle salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Place fillets, skin-side up, in the skillet; cook for 4 minutes. Flip salmon skin-side down and spread shallot and garlic over top. Add broccoli around the fillets, stirring to coat in oil. Squeeze lemon halves over salmon and broccoli.
3 Cover the skillet and steam until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, about 5 minutes.
