Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- Cooked white or brown rice, for serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp sesame oil, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the sesame seeds on a plate. Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and press the top of each fillet into the sesame seeds to coat.
- Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets, sesame seed side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip the fillets and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon is baking, heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add a splash of olive oil and stir-fry the bell peppers, snap peas, and broccoli for 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, 2 tbsp soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Pour the mixture over the stir-fried vegetables and toss to coat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve the sesame ginger salmon alongside the stir-fried vegetables and cooked rice. Enjoy!
