Salmon with Broccolini and Seared Lemon

Crisp-skinned salmon with broccolini and lightly seared lemons.

  1. Cook the broccolini in boiling water for 3–4 minutes, drain, and toss with the lemon juice, lemon zest and extra virgin olive oil.
  2. Rub the salmon with oil and season. Place it skin-side down in a hot pan for 3–4 minutes.
  3. Turn the fish and put the halved lemons in the pan cut-side down. Cook until the salmon is done and the lemons are charred, then serve with the broccolini.
