Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create a flavorful glaze. Set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Carefully add the salmon fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets, sliced carrots, and red bell pepper. Stir fry for about 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender and vibrant in color.
- Pour the prepared soy glaze over the stir-fried vegetables and toss to coat them evenly.
- Return the cooked salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the glaze over them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the salmon to heat through and the glaze to caramelize slightly.
- Serve the salmon stir fry over bowls of steamed rice, garnished with sliced green onions for an extra crunch and freshness.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, consider adding a splash of sriracha or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the soy glaze.
- You can substitute the salmon with chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
- Feel free to mix in other vegetables such as snap peas or baby corn for added variety.
