I made this tonight with the Salmon Florentine and it was really good. I added the hazelnuts, which were good but I think next time I won't. It is really good just as is with the addition of the red pepper flakes.

We love broccolini, so it was nice to find another way to make it. We did stir fry it in the oil first, then added the lemon. I doubled the lemon juice and thought it was just right, but my husband thought you could still barely taste the lemon. This serves 4, instead of 6 (unless you eat small servings of vegetables.

This was very good. It had just the right amount of lemon zest and lemon juice. I used the crushed red pepper and over all this was a nice change for broccoli. I will always use this recipe from now on.
Thanks so much Ellie!!
