Ingredients
- 400 g fresh salmon (14 ounces)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic. Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper, then coat it with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
- Place the salmon fillet on the grill, skin-side down if applicable. Grill for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon is grilling, place the broccoli florets in a grill basket or directly on the grill. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the broccoli is tender and slightly charred.
- Transfer the grilled salmon and broccoli to a serving platter. Optional: Serve with fresh salad if desired.
