Method

Preparing the Protein

  1. 1

    Marinate the Salmon or Filet Mignon

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, fresh herbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture onto the salmon fillets or filet mignon steaks. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Protein

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the marinated salmon or filet mignon on the grill. For salmon, grill for about 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through. For filet mignon, grill for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.

Cooking the Pasta

  1. 3

    Boil the Pasta

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Pasta

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the drained pasta and toss to combine. If the pasta seems dry, add reserved pasta water gradually. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Preparing the Broccolini

  1. 5

    Blanch the Broccolini

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccolini and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender. Drain and immediately place in ice water to stop cooking.

  2. 6

    Sauté the Broccolini

    In a skillet, add a little olive oil and sauté the blanched broccolini over medium heat. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
