Experience a delightful fusion of flavors with this Japanese Salmon Stir-Fry. Combining tender salmon with vibrant vegetables and a savory sauce, this dish offers a balanced, nutritious meal that's both quick and easy to prepare.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Cut the salmon into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.
- Add the soy sauce to the salmon, mix well, and set aside to marinate while you prepare the vegetables.
- Cut the broccoli into small florets.
- Slice the onion and red pepper into thin strips.
- Finely grate the ginger root.
- In a dry pan over medium-low heat, toast the sesame seeds until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced onions and cook until they begin to soften, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the broccoli florets and red pepper strips to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the marinated salmon pieces to the center.
- Cook the salmon for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Add the finely grated ginger root to the skillet and stir everything together.
- Pour in the vinegar and mirin, and drizzle with sesame oil.
- Toss everything together until well-coated and heated through.
- Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the stir-fry and give it a final toss.
- Serve the Japanese salmon stir-fry hot, garnished with additional sesame seeds if desired.
Tips:
- Ensure the salmon is fresh and cut into even-sized chunks for uniform cooking.
- Preheat your frying pan to a medium-high heat to achieve a perfect sear on the salmon.
- To prevent overcooking, cook the broccoli, onion, and red pepper just until they are tender-crisp.
- Stir the sauce ingredients together before adding them to the stir-fry to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
- Garnish with sesame seeds just before serving for an added crunch and nutty flavor.
This Japanese Salmon Stir-Fry is a quick and nutritious meal, perfect for any night of the week. The tender salmon, crisp vegetables, and rich, savory sauce come together to create a dish that's both flavorful and satisfying. Enjoy the delicious taste and health benefits of this simple, yet sophisticated recipe.
