Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Broccoli

Start by adding salt, dried garlic, and olive oil to the broccoli. It is recommended to choose fresh broccoli for this recipe, as it will be crisp and juicy.

Place the seasoned broccoli onto a baking tray and roast it in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 30 minutes. Once the broccoli is slightly crispy on top, it is ready to serve.

Step 2

Cook the Salmon

Season the salmon steak with salt, black pepper, and Mediterranean herbs. Lightly grease a frying pan with vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat.

Cook the salmon steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side until it is golden brown and cooked to your liking.

Step 3

Prepare the Salad

In a large bowl, combine arugula, sliced tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and toss gently to mix.

Step 4

Season the Avocado

For the avocado, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, then add lemon juice. Make a lengthwise cut down the avocado while it's still in the peel for easy slicing.

Step 5

Assemble the Plate

On a plate, arrange the roasted broccoli, the fresh salad, and the cooked salmon. Top the salad with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and add sliced avocado on the side.

Step 6

Finish with Dressing

Mix olive oil, chopped dill, and lemon juice. Drizzle this mixture over the cooked salmon, ensuring to add just the herbs and a bit of oil to keep the fish from being too greasy. It's now ready to serve!

Variations

Looking to adjust the recipe? Here are some fabulous variations! 🌱 For a **gluten-free** option, simply ensure that your seasonings and oils are certified gluten-free.

🥑 Add a handful of nuts or seeds to your salad for extra crunch, or experiment with your favorite vegetables for roasting alongside the broccoli!

Faq

  • What type of fish is best for this recipe?

    While salmon is a fantastic choice for its rich flavor, you can also use trout, tilapia, or any firm white fish that you enjoy!

  • Can I prep the ingredients in advance?

    Absolutely! You can chop the vegetables and season the fish the night before for a quick dinner the next day.

  • What should I do if my broccoli isn't cooking evenly?

    Ensure the broccoli is cut into similar-sized pieces for even roasting. If it’s still uneven, consider rotating the baking sheet halfway through cooking.

  • Should I cover the fish while cooking to keep it moist?

    You can cover the fish with foil for the first half of cooking to help retain moisture but uncover it for the last few minutes to allow for a nice sear.

  • Can I add spices to the broccoli?

    Of course! Feel free to toss in garlic powder, onion powder, or even some paprika for an extra kick of flavor.

  • How can I make the salad more filling?

    Add proteins like chickpeas, grilled chicken, or quinoa to make your salad more substantial and satisfying!
