Ingredients

• 4 (6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
• 3 tbsp orange juice
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 cup trimmed snap peas
• 1 tsp sesame oil

3. Step 3: Add snap peas to the skillet, tossing to coat in the glaze, and cook for 3 minutes until peas are bright green and crisp-tender. Transfer salmon to plates and spoon the pea glaze over top.
