Salmon Steak with Sauteed Broccolini.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eating healthy does not have to be boring. By choosing the right protein and mixing it with veggies, you can be sure to have a healthy meal each time. This is a beautiful salmon steak served with some sauteed broccolini, cherry tomatoes and roasted garlic. As you know, I love salmon and could eat it everyday if given the opportunity. I prefer wild salmon to farm raised ones as the flavor of wild salmon is far superior. The combination with broccolini here is heavenly. Broccolini is a vegetable I am getting to appreciate with each passing day. Contrary to its name, it is not in any way related to broccoli. In the absence of broccolini, you could use broccoli, Brussels Sprouts  or asparagus for this dish. This dish is easy to make and can be put together under fifteen minutes.
