SALMON AND SNOW PEA STIR FRY



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!

Provided by FLKeysJen

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.
