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

Instructions
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the salmon pieces and half of the sliced garlic in an even layer, then season with ½ teaspoon of salt and crushed red pepper.
- Cook the salmon uncovered, stirring occasionally, until it's opaque on all sides (about 4 to 5 minutes). Transfer the salmon to a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the broccoli, chopped bell peppers, 1 tablespoon of water, the remaining sliced garlic, and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
- Cover and cook the vegetable mixture, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp (4 to 5 minutes).

- Serve by dividing among four shallow bowls, spooning any remaining liquid from the pan over the bowls, and garnishing with orange zest and scallions.
