Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce

- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced

Instructions
- Step 1: Season 4 salmon fillets with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 5 minutes until skin is crisp. Flip and cook 3 more minutes until salmon is just cooked through. Remove salmon and keep warm.
- Step 2: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp vegetable oil, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Step 3: Stir in 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar. Cook sauce for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and glossy.
- Step 4: Add 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 sliced red bell pepper, and 1 cup snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry vegetables in the sauce for 4 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Step 5: Return salmon fillets to the pan, spooning sauce over them to glaze. Garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tsp sesame seeds before serving.
