I liked this dish and will definitely make it again. I used a Meyer lemon infused cooking oil to saute the broccoli after it was cooked. I liked cooking the broccoli until it was crisp tender and then adding cold water; you get a much nicer looking side dish. I served the broccoli with honey ginger salmon and whole grain rice.

So yummy - ate this two nights in a row. The lemon and peppers really go well with the butter and broccoli
