Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

1 vibrant red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 medium carrot, julienned or thinly sliced

1 cup fresh broccoli florets

3 green onions, chopped (white and green parts separated)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated

½ cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooked rice or quinoa for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients before you start cooking. Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season each fillet lightly with salt and pepper. Chop and prepare the vegetables as specified in the ingredients list, ensuring the snap peas are trimmed and the broccoli is broken into small florets.

    Cook the Salmon: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the salmon fillets in the pan, skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes, allowing the skin to become crispy and the salmon to cook about halfway up the sides. Gently flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through. Once done, remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the white parts of the chopped green onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the pan. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Next, toss in the snap peas, bell pepper strips, carrot, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes, cooking until they are tender yet still crisp.

        Add the Teriyaki Sauce: Once the vegetables are perfectly tender, drizzle the teriyaki sauce over them and stir well to combine. Gently return the cooked salmon fillets to the skillet, coating them with the sauce. Allow everything to warm through for an additional 2 minutes, making sure the salmon absorbs some of that delicious teriyaki flavor.

          Serve: Carefully transfer the stir-fry to serving plates. Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and the green parts of the chopped green onions for an added pop of color. Serve immediately over a bed of cooked rice or quinoa for a heartier meal.
