An important tip
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, as almost everything in this recipe is cooked in the same water. But don’t overcook the broccoli. You want it slightly undercooked and still a little crunchy. Seven minutes is more than enough.
Finish the salmon in a pan with olive oil, garlic, and lemon, then add fresh cilantro. Cut the salmon into pieces and toss everything together with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and Parmesan. Follow my recipe below step by step.
What to serve with it
Pair this pasta with a glass of dry, chilled white wine.
