Ingredients

  • 2 6 oz each salmon fillets
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 whole lemon
  • 1 to taste salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss the 3 cups broccoli florets and 1 cup cherry tomatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Grill the vegetables in a grill basket or on skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and tender. Set aside.

    Brush the 2 salmon fillets with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill skin-side down for 4-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Flip the salmon and grill for another 3-4 minutes, until it flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.

  5. 5

    Serve the salmon with the grilled vegetables and squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over everything. Garnish with fresh parsley if you have it.
