Dilly Salmon with Lemony Broccoli Rabe & Burrata and Tzatziki
Prep: 10 min
Cook: 15 min
Ingredients:
- (4) 5 oz salmon filets
- 1 cup fresh dill, chopped fine
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1-2 bunches broccoli rabe (or substitute broccolini)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced fine
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- 4 small burrata balls (or sub fresh mozzarella)
- 1 cup store bought tzatziki
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 F. Also, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Line a large sheet pan with foil. Place salmon filets on the pan. Score each salmon filet by lightly slicing about ¼” through the flesh 4-5 times across the filet. Season with salt, pepper and dill. Rub seasoning into scores. Drizzle with olive oil and place in the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until desired doneness. While the salmon bakes, place broccoli rabe in the pot of water and let boil for 3 minutes (only 2 if using broccolini). While that boils, heat a large saute pan over medium heat, add in a little olive oil, garlic and red pepper flakes. When the garlic becomes fragrant, remove broccoli rabe from water, shaking off excess and add to the saute pan. Saute 2-3 minutes and season with salt and pepper and some lemon juice. Plate up salmon, serve broccoli rabe alongside with a chunk of burrata seasoned with salt, pepper and a little olive oil and tzatziki for dipping.
Other Ways to Prepare This Meal:
Plant-based: Use pressed and drained, firm tofu instead of salmon. Omit cheese. Use vegan yogurt mixed with dill, olive oil, salt and pepper instead of tzatziki.
Add spice: Add sliced Italian calabrian chilies to the top of the broccoli rabe.
Kid-friendly: If your kiddos aren’t big seafood fans or don’t love bitter, substitute the salmon for chicken and the broccoli rabe for regular broccoli.
