Salmon:
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 (4 oz) salmon fillet (115 g)

Maple Soy Marinade and Glaze:
¼ cup pure maple syrup (75 g)
2 Tbsp. orange juice, freshly squeezed
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. ground ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
pepper, to taste
salt, to taste

Broccoli:
1 lb broccoli floret (455 g)
sea salt
2 Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. lemon zest, freshly grated
1 tsp. red pepper flakes

Garnish:
fresh parsley, chopped

For the Salmon: heat the vegetable oil on medium-high in a cast-iron skillet.

For the Broccoli: fill a medium pot halfway with water. Add a dash of salt and start boiling water.

In the meantime, whisk together maple syrup, orange juice, soy sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Set aside 2 Tbsp. for topping later.

Place salmon fillets inside the bowl and make sure each side is covered with marinade/glaze. 

Add the salmon to the hot skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side. Brush the tops with the sauce and set aside.

With the pot of water boiling, add the broccoli and cover lid. Blanch for 2 minutes. Drain under cold water to stop the cooking.

In the drained pot of broccoli, stir in butter, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, some lemon zest, and garlic on low heat. Mix until broccoli is well-coated.

On each plate, serve a filet of salmon and scoop of broccoli.

Top with reserved glaze and sprinkle parsley for garnish.
