Instructions

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet with a lid over medium-high heat.
Add the salmon pieces and half of the sliced garlic evenly; sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt and crushed red pepper.
Cook uncovered, stirring and turning occasionally until the salmon is opaque and just cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the salmon to a plate using a fish spatula or tongs.
Leave the skillet clean; add the broccoli, chopped bell peppers, 1 tablespoon water, the remaining garlic, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Stir in the orange juice and tamari, then gently fold in the cooked salmon.
Serve in 4 shallow bowls, spooning any remaining liquid from the pan over each serving; top with orange zest and scallions.

Notes

For an extra kick, adjust the amount of crushed red pepper to taste.
This dish pairs well with rice or quinoa for a more substantial meal.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
