Salmon and Broccoli with Onions



I used Salmon but Tilapia, shark, or swordfish are also good this way.
The Palm oil I got while in FL., because they do not have it here, it is the most healthy oil you can use for two reasons:
1. The color comes from the high amounts of the best antioxidants
2. The antioxidants are not lost when you heat this oil (you do lose some on the second heating and more on the third)
I did not use the brown rice because it was a late dinner and I did not need the extra carbs. Plus digestion wise it is better not to mix protein and carbs.

I put the frozen broccoli in water for about a minute. While I have the broccoli in water I slice half of one medium onion in a skillet and add one spoon of palm oil. I put this on medium high. Then I drain the broccoli and lay on a couple of paper towels
While the onions cook I season the fish (you can do this ahead of time if you like)then place in the skillet. Once the fish has cooked more than halfway(this varies depending on what fish you use) I turn it over and add the broccoli. Use just a small amount (about a tsp)of the Chinese marinade or stir fry sauce. I had my salmon rare but my husband eats his well done. I took mine off and covered his with a lid large enough to push the broc n onions to the wall of the skillet. I did this so his salmon could cook more and the broc n onions could slow down a little and everything could be ready at one time. While waiting for that I cut my salmon on a slant and placed it on the plate.
Hubby doesn't do spicy so he got only the Chinese marinade on his plate..
I LOVE the heat so I also added Siracha sauce to mine. I will add a photo of the bottle.
**TIP** You can also try this with fresh broccoli if you want.... I love fresh veggies it has a great flavor this way too!
