Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon in the skillet skin-side down and press gently with a spatula to ensure even contact.
Sear the salmon for 4 to 5 minutes without moving it until the skin is golden and crisp.
Carefully flip the fillet and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 125-130 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
While the salmon sears, place the broccoli florets in a steamer basket over an inch of boiling water.
Cover and steam the broccoli for 4 to 5 minutes until it is tender-crisp and bright green.
Transfer the salmon and broccoli to a plate and drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the entire dish before serving.
