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 oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the salmon pieces and half of the sliced garlic in an even layer, then sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt and crushed red pepper.
- Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the salmon is opaque and fully cooked, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Add broccoli, chopped bell peppers, 1 tablespoon water, the remaining garlic, and ¼ teaspoon salt to the skillet without cleaning it.
- Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender-crisp, around 4 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in orange juice and tamari, then gently fold in the cooked salmon.
- Divide into shallow bowls, spooning any remaining liquid over the top.
- Sprinkle with orange zest and scallions before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider marinating the salmon in the tamari and orange juice before cooking.
If you prefer more spiciness, increase the amount of crushed red pepper to suit your taste.
Fresh garlic offers a more robust flavor compared to pre-minced alternatives.
