Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper on both sides.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger, and 2 tbsp soy sauce.

  6. Step 6: Add 12 oz trimmed snow peas and cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp, stirring frequently.
  7. Step 7: Serve the glazed salmon on a plate alongside the garlic snow peas.
