Instructions

Step 1: Cut 1 lb salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tsp minced fresh ginger until sugar dissolves.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon cubes and sauté for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned but not fully cooked.
Step 3: Add 2 cups snap peas to the skillet and stir-fry for 2 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
Step 4: In a small bowl, mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp water until smooth, then pour into the skillet along with the teriyaki sauce mixture.
Step 5: Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes as the sauce thickens and coats the salmon and snap peas evenly.
Step 6: Sprinkle 1 tsp sesame seeds over the dish before serving warm with steamed rice or noodles.
