Instructions

In a large nonstick skillet with a lid, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat.
Add the salmon pieces and half of the sliced garlic to the skillet in an even layer. Season with ½ teaspoon salt and crushed red pepper.
Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the salmon is opaque on all sides and just cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the salmon to a plate using a fish spatula or tongs.
Without cleaning the skillet, add the broccoli florets, chopped bell peppers, 1 tablespoon of water, the remaining sliced garlic, and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender yet crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Stir in 1½ tablespoons of orange juice and 1 tablespoon of tamari. Gently fold in the cooked salmon.
Serve the mixture in shallow bowls, drizzling remaining liquid from the pan over the top. Garnish with orange zest and scallions.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding sesame oil or your favorite herbs to the vegetables.
Ensure the salmon is cooked just until opaque to avoid overcooking and dryness.
This dish is great over rice or quinoa for a heartier meal.
