Salmon and Snow Pea Stir Fry image

You wouldn't expect to find salmon in a stir-fry. But when you're tired of the same old chicken or shrimp, try this high-protein, heart-healthy entree from Oxygen Magazine. The salmon really soaks up a nice orange flavor; pineapple or another juice might be tasty too!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 ounces skinless salmon fillet (wild is healthier than farm-raised)
1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup orange juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon sesame oil
nonstick cooking spray or peanut oil
1 small onion, halved and sliced
6 ounces snow peas

Steps:

  • Cut salmon into 1 1/2 inch cubes and place in a resealable plastic bag.
  • In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, juice, garlic and sesame oil; pour half the marinade into the plastic bag with salmon.
  • Marinate the fish for 30 minutes in the fridge.
  • Coat a nonstick frying pan or wok with nonstick spray.
  • Remove salmon from bag; discard leftover marinade.
  • Stir-fry salmon over medium-high heat, about five minutes. Turn salmon over gently so that all sides cook evenly. Be very careful with the salmon pieces so they stay intact - this was the hardest part for me; I didn't realize I'm quite the aggressive mad-woman stir-fryer!
  • Remove salmon from wok and add sliced onion. Stir-fry onion until brown, about five minutes. Add snow peas and stir-fry until they turn bright green, about three minutes.
  • Return salmon to pan and pour reserved marinade over fish and vegetables. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until sauce has thickened.
  • Serve with 1/2 cup of brown rice for each plate, if desired.

SALMON STIR FRY



SALMON STIR FRY image

Categories     Fish     Stir-Fry     Quick & Easy     Healthy

Yield 4 bowls

Number Of Ingredients 7

Filet of salmon
black pepper
cajun spice
4 or 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
White rice
2 tablespoons butter
1 egg

Steps:

  • 1. Measure out the amount of rice you would like to cook, and start it simmering with a pinch of salt in the water. Let it sit, as it will take the longest. 2. Skin the salmon for frying. Put vegetable oil in a pan and turn heat on medium. 3. When warm, add salmon to pan, and add black pepper and cajun seasoning to taste. Don't worry if you finish cooking the fish too fast, as we will be adding it to the stirfry, and it will be reheated. 4. When rice is done, and salmon is removed from pan, add the butter to the pan and let melt. 5. Pour desired amount of rice into pan, as well as desired amount of cajun salmon. Seperate the salmon into small pieces. Mashing it with a fork works best. 6. Add egg to pan and mix all together while it is cooking until all bits of egg are fully cooked. 7. Mix in some johnny's or a seasoning salt to taste, and serve!

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are prepped and measured. This will ensure a smooth cooking process without scrambling for ingredients.
  • Hot and Fast: Salmon cooks quickly, so ensure your wok or pan is very hot before adding the fish. This will help sear the outside and maintain its moisture.
  • Don't Overcook: Salmon is delicate and can easily overcook. Cook it only until it is opaque in the center, which usually takes just a few minutes.
  • Use a Flavorful Sauce: The sauce is what brings the dish together, so make sure to use a flavorful combination of ingredients. Soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and honey are classic choices, but feel free to experiment with other flavors.
  • Add Vegetables: Vegetables not only add color and texture to the dish but also make it more nutritious. Stir-fry vegetables like broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers are great choices.
  • Serve Immediately: Salmon stir-fry is best served immediately after cooking. This will ensure the fish is at its best texture and the vegetables are still crisp.

Conclusion:

Salmon stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrition and can be easily customized to your liking. Experiment with different sauces, vegetables, and garnishes to create a dish that is uniquely yours.
