Ginger Glazed Salmon with Stir-Fried Vegetables

Ingredients:

For the salmon:

• 4 salmon fillets
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the stir-fried vegetables:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas, carrots, and mushrooms), thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
• Sliced green onions, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the ginger dressing until well combined. Set aside.

3. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.

4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets, skin side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned and crispy. Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

5. Pour the ginger dressing over the salmon fillets, making sure they are evenly coated. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

6. While the salmon is baking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the mixed vegetables, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

7. Season the stir-fried vegetables with salt and pepper to taste.

8. Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.

9. Serve the ginger glazed salmon fillets with the stir-fried vegetables on the side. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.
