This recipe is adapted from a Cooking Light recipe, "Salmon with Sweet-and-Sour Pan Sauce." This version, however, adds some green and crunch to a truly delicious flavor combination.

Ingredients

1 tbsp vegetable oil or sesame oil

1 pound salmon skin removed, cut into 4 pieces

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cloves garlic pressed or minced

0.25 cup chicken broth

2 tbsp lime juice

2 tbsp fish sauce

1 tbsp soy sauce or ponzu

3 tbsp cane sugar

1 cup frozen shelled edamame

1 cup frozen sugar snap peas

1 splash orange juice


Directions

I recommend serving this dish over steamed brown jasmine rice. As a time saver, try steaming the frozen vegetables in the rice cooker as the brown rice cooks. Otherwise, steam the vegetables on the stovetop or in the microwave. Heat oil over medium-high heat and saute salmon until the flesh is firm and the outside is just crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes a side, depending on the thickness of the salmon filet. Salt and pepper to taste. Remove salmon from pan and keep warm. Add the steamed vegetables and a splash of orange juice to the pan and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until the peas and edamame are barely browned and slightly crispy. Add the sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, until sauce thickens slightly. Add the salmon back into the pan for 2 minutes to warm it up. Serve the salmon stir-fry over rice and drizzle remaining pan sauce over the entire dish. A green salad with ginger dressing is a great accompaniment to this recipe!

Very good! I was afraid of the fish sauce because I hate anchovies, but you cannot even taste it. This dish has a fruity flavor. Very light, healthy and delicious.
