Make

  1. Heat a wok or skillet with cooking oil (portion for broccoli) over medium-high heat. Saute for 2 minutes to get broccoli started cooking. Add water, cover pan with a lid, and steam until nearly tender, ~4 minutes. Remove cover and add ground coriander and some salt. Continue cooking until water has cooked off and broccoli is tender.

  2. Remove broccoli from heat and stir in lime juice (portion for broccoli). Set broccoli aside, covered to keep warm.

  3. Return pan to stovetop and reduce heat to medium.

  4. To heated pan, add second portion of cooking oil (for bowls) and then salmon. Let salmon sear on one side until golden brown, ~3 minutes. Use a spatula to flip the salmon and then continue cooking until golden brown on all sides and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes more.

  5. Assemble bowls with a bed of slaw topped with salmon, avocados, and broccoli. Top with pepitas and Cilantro Garlic Sauce (reserve half if doubled).
