Meal Type: Lunch or Dinner
Cooking Time: 35 Minutes
Yields: 4 portions
Ingredients:
For the Chimichurri
1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
3/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Salmon and Broccoli
1 lb. Oshēn Salmon fillets, skin on
1 large head of broccoli, chopped into florets
2 tablespoons olive oil, more as needed
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Preparation:
1. Start by making the Chimichurri: In a small bowl, combine the parsley, cilantro, garlic,
red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and set aside.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
3. Heat an oven-safe cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to
coat the bottom of the pan.
4. Season the Salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the Salmon in
the hot pan, skin-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the skin is crispy and golden
brown.
5. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for about 8 minutes, or until the Salmon is
cooked through. You can adjust the cooking time to your liking.
6. While the Salmon is cooking, toss the broccoli florets in a bowl with a drizzle of olive
oil, salt, and black pepper.
7. Once the Salmon is done, remove the pan from the oven and transfer the Salmon to
a plate. Cover with foil or with a lid to keep warm.
8. Add the seasoned broccoli to the cast iron pan and place it in the oven. Roast for 10
minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and slightly charred.
