This salmon has a lovely crust thanks to a garlic peppercorn rub that adds both flavor and texture; what else do you need besides that? How about a creamy pasta on the side with fresh broccolini, cheesy and garlicky good. Tip: Make quick work of mincing garlic by smashing the whole clove with the side of your chef's knife. Then rock the knife back and forth, keeping the tip steady by resting your other hand over the top.

2 Roast the Broccolini
Trim bottom end from broccolini and cut into 2" lengths.
Place broccolini on prepared baking sheet and toss with 1 Tbsp. olive oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Massage oil and seasoning into broccolini.Spread into a single layer and roast in hot oven until tender and lightly browned, 12-15 minutes.While broccolini roasts, prepare remaining ingredients. -
