Make it

Method

  1. 1

    Thaw frozen vegetables in the microwave (or place entire bag in a bowl of hot water for about 10 minutes). Set aside until step 7.

  2. 2

    Preheat oven to 350 ºF.

  3. 3

    Combine teriyaki sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, scallions, and ginger. Mix well. Pour over salmon, and marinate for 10–15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Remove salmon from the marinade, and discard unused portion.

  5. 5

    Place salmon on a baking sheet, and bake for 10–15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork in the thickest part (to a minimum internal temperature of 145 °F).

  6. 6

    Meanwhile, heat oil in a large wok or sauté pan. Add garlic, ginger, and scallions, and cook gently but do not brown, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

  7. 7

    Add vegetables, and continue to stir fry for 2–3 minutes or until heated through. Add soy sauce.

  8. 8

    Serve one piece of salmon with 1 cup of vegetables.

  9. 9

    Tip: Try serving with steamed rice or Asian-style noodles (soba or udon).
