instructions
    1

    Start by preparing the broccoli. Cut the head into florets and set aside.

    2

    In a pot of boiling salted water, add the broccoli and cook for about 4 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.

    3

    In a bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper to create a marinade.

    4

    Coat the salmon fillets with the marinade. Let them rest for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

    5

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated salmon on the grill.

    6

    Grill the salmon for 5-6 minutes on one side, then carefully flip and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side, until it easily flakes with a fork.

    7

    While the salmon is grilling, heat a bit of olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the broccoli for about 3-4 minutes to enhance its flavor.

    8

    Once everything is ready, serve the grilled salmon alongside the sautéed broccoli. Optionally, drizzle more lemon juice on top for extra zest.

How to be creative
  • Add some crushed red pepper flakes to the marinade for a spicy kick.
  • Top the grilled salmon with avocado slices for creaminess.
  • Mix in some pine nuts or almonds with the broccoli for added crunch.
Important Tips
  • Ensure your grill is preheated well for perfect grill marks and flavor.
  • Let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes after grilling for juiciness.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor; bottled juice won't taste as bright.
