Ingredients
- 1 lb. salmon filets, skin removed cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 Tbsp. coconut aminos or soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp. hoisin sauce
- 1 Tbsp. rice vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 tsp. ginger
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 cup julienned carrots
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1 cup broccoli florets
For Serving
- cooked rice or noodles
- cooked cauliflower rice
- sesame seeds
- red pepper flakes
- sliced green onions
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch until well combined. Set aside.
- Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the salmon chunks to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic cloves, ground ginger, sliced bell peppers, julienned carrots, snap peas, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Return the cooked salmon to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the salmon and vegetables in the skillet. Stir well to coat everything evenly in the sauce.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and everything is heated through. Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Serve the salmon stir fry hot over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
- Nutrition facts are an estimate and will change with any substitutions. Nutrition facts do not include rice.
- Feel free to customize this stir fry with your favorite vegetables such as mushrooms, snow peas, or bok choy.
- Adjust the amount of soy sauce and hoisin sauce according to your taste preferences.
- I like to use fresh salmon, but if you use frozen salmon, just make sure it is fully thawed and dried. Make sure not to overcook the salmon to keep it tender and moist.
- You can add a kick of heat by stirring in some red pepper flakes or sriracha sauce to the stir-fry sauce.
