Salmon with Broccoli Puree

This salmon with broccoli puree is a simple seafood dinner with pan-seared salmon, buttery broccoli puree, black pepper, lemon, and Herbs de Provence Sea Salt. The salt seasons both the salmon and the purée, giving the dish an aromatic herb finish that works with the richness of the fish and the freshness of the broccoli. A quick sear keeps the salmon tender, while the smooth puree makes the plate feel more complete without a heavy sauce. Serve it for a weeknight dinner, date night, or a lighter seafood meal with potatoes or salad.

Why Herbs de Provence Sea Salt Works in This Salmon

Herbes de Provence Sea Salt works well with salmon because its herbal aroma complements seafood without overpowering it.
