One-Skillet Garlicky Salmon and Broccoli

Active Time: 20 minutes Total Time: 20 minutes

Serves 4

• 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

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.
