Ingredients
  

  • 2 salmon fillets 6 oz each
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ lemon sliced
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Set a grill or grill pan over medium heat and allow it to warm up.
  • Coat the salmon fillets with olive oil and evenly sprinkle the minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • Place the fillets on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  • While the salmon cooks, steam the broccoli in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 5-7 minutes, or until tender but still vibrant green.
  • Plate the grilled salmon with the steamed broccoli, and serve with fresh lemon slices for garnish.

Notes

  • For a spicy twist, add a dash of red pepper flakes to the salmon before grilling.
  • To give the broccoli an umami boost, drizzle it with a bit of soy sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
