Skillet Roasted Salmon and Greens
A flavorful dish featuring salmon fillets marinated in a zesty blend and roasted with broccolini and Brussels sprouts. This recipe delivers a satisfying combination of tender fish and crisp greens, perfect when served over fragrant basmati rice.
Method
-
Season salmon on both sides with salt and pepper and set aside to temper 15-20 minutes.
-
In a large bowl combine marinade ingredients and add the fish. Refrigerate at least 15 minutes and up to 12 hours.
-
Heat oven to 450 °F.
-
Trim and halve the Brussel Sprouts. Toss the Brussel Sprouts and Broccolini with 1 TBSP olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Arrange the greens in the bottom of an oven safe skillet. A 10 inch cast iron skillet works well here.
-
Lay the salmon fillets on top of the greens and pour remaining marinade over the fish.
-
Roast until the fish is opaque but not cooked through, about 10 minutes.
-
Remove the skillet from the oven and heat the broiler to high.
-
Brush 1 TBSP Olive Oil over the salmon fillets.
-
Broil the Salmon until cooking is complete and fish flakes easily with a fork and the greens are tender and just beginning to brown in spots.
-
Serve salmon and greens over steamed basmati rice and drizzle pan juices over the salmon and rice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute other fish for salmon in this recipe?
Yes, firm white fish like cod or halibut can be used, but cooking times may vary slightly. Adjust the roasting and broiling times to ensure the fish flakes easily.
How long can I marinate the salmon ahead of time?
You can marinate the salmon for at least 15 minutes and up to 12 hours. Longer marinating enhances the flavor but avoid exceeding 12 hours to maintain the fish's texture.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, this recipe is gluten-free as long as you use gluten-free Worcestershire sauce, since some brands contain gluten.
What should I do if my Brussels sprouts start browning too fast in the oven?
Lower the oven temperature slightly or cover the skillet with foil to prevent burning. You can also toss the sprouts midway through roasting to ensure even cooking.
Can I use coconut cream instead of coconut milk in the marinade?
Yes, coconut cream will make the marinade thicker and richer. You may want to thin it slightly with water or reduce the amount to maintain balance.
