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 over medium-high heat. Add salmon pieces and half of the sliced garlic evenly.
- Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon each of salt and crushed red pepper. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the salmon is opaque and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer the salmon to a plate using a fish spatula or tongs without wiping the skillet clean.
- Add the broccoli, chopped bell peppers, 1 tablespoon of water, and the remaining sliced garlic along with ¼ teaspoon of salt to the skillet.
- Cover and cook until the vegetables are tender-crisp, stirring occasionally, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1½ tablespoons of orange juice and 1 tablespoon of tamari. Gently fold in the cooked salmon.
- Divide into 4 shallow bowls and spoon any remaining liquid over the bowls. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of orange zest and 1 tablespoon of scallions.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper for your desired spice level.
For added flavor, marinate the salmon in the orange juice and tamari for 30 minutes before cooking.
