Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Salmon fillet (skinless, cut into bite-size pieces)
- 200 grams Snow peas (trimmed)
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the salmon pieces to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and just cooked through. Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside on a plate.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet.
Toss in the snow peas and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
Return the salmon to the skillet and pour in the soy sauce mixture. Gently toss everything together.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the salmon and snow peas.
Remove the stir-fry from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
