Instructions
- Whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl to prepare the sauce. Set this aside for later.
- Season your halibut fillets evenly with salt and pepper.
- Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the halibut fillets.
- Cook the halibut for 3-4 minutes on each side until it's cooked through and golden. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets, sliced carrots, red bell pepper, snap peas, and sliced green onions. Stir fry these for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to form a smooth slurry.
- Push the stir-fried vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the previously prepared soy sauce mixture into the empty space on the skillet.
- Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and stir quickly to combine with the sauce. Continue to stir until the sauce thickens.
- Return the cooked halibut fillets to the skillet and gently toss to coat them with the sauce and vegetables.
- Cook everything together for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the dish is heated through.
- Serve the halibut and vegetable stir fry hot, garnished with additional sliced green onions, if desired. This dish pairs perfectly with a side of steamed jasmine rice or noodles.
Tips
- For a vegetarian version, replace the halibut with tofu or extra firm tempeh.
- Feel free to use any vegetables of your choice.
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
