Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz salmon fillet, skinless, cut into 1 inch cubes
- ½ whole red bell pepper, julienned
- ½ whole yellow bell pepper, julienned
- 1 large carrot, peeled and cut into matchstick size
- 1 cup broccoli florets, raw
- 2 tbsps. avocado oil, or light olive oil
- ¼ cup soy sauce, low sodium
- ¼ cup broth or water
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp. rice vinegar
- 2 tsps. corn starch
- 2 tbsps. honey, or brown sugar
- 1 tbsp. garlic, minced, 2-3 cloves
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- ½ tsp. black pepper
- ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp. grated ginger, or ginger powder
- sesame seeds
- Green onion, sliced
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients until cornstarch is fully dissolved and no lumps remain.
- Slice the salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes and marinate them in half of the sauce for 10 minutes while reserving the rest.
- Wash and prep the vegetables: broccoli, bell peppers, and julienned carrots.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the vegetables, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until vibrant and crisp-tender. Set aside.
- Wipe the skillet clean, add more oil, and sear the salmon in a single layer for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the reserved sauce into the skillet with the salmon and simmer for 30-60 seconds until it thickens into a glaze.
- Return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet, gently folding to coat everything in the glaze and heat through for 60 seconds.
- Remove from heat, garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, and serve warm over jasmine rice or noodles.
Notes
For extra crunch, add snap peas or water chestnuts to the stir-fry.
You can substitute salmon with chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
Make sure to cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
