Ingredients
  

  • 2 fillets salmon about 150–180g each
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup carrots sliced
  • 1 cup zucchini sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder optional

Equipment

  • Grill Pan or Outdoor Grill
  • Steamer basket or pot
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Brush salmon fillets lightly with olive oil and drizzle with lemon juice. Season with pepper and garlic powder (if using).
  3. Grill salmon for 4–5 minutes per side, until cooked through and flaky.
  4. Meanwhile, steam broccoli, carrots, and zucchini until tender but crisp (about 5–7 minutes).
  5. Plate salmon with steamed vegetables and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use skin-on salmon for added omega-3s and crispy texture.
  • No added salt to keep it DASH-friendly—use lemon and herbs for flavor.
  • Can substitute vegetables with asparagus, green beans, or bell peppers.
