Teriyaki Salmon and stir fry vegetables

This is a great recipe as it ticks all the boxes. It’s healthy, quick, simple, easy and low in calories.

The recipe is choked full of goodness so great if you’re trying to build muscle, lose weight or just eat healthy. The salmon is high in protein and high omega-3 fatty acids, kale is high in vitamin K & C.

Ingredients (serves  4)

Salmon Fillets x 4
Teriyaki sauce – good glug
Kale – bag
Bean sprouts – bag
Mange tout, sugar snaps, baby sweet corn – a good handful of each
Spring onions – 4
Ginger – 2cm chunk
Garlic – 2 cloves
Chilli – tsp
Soy sauce - tbsp
Sesame oil or olive oil –tbsp
Lime – tsp
Sesame seeds – optional

Instructions

1.     Marinade the salmon fillets for half an hour, get them covered in teriyaki sauce and then chill in the fridge for 30 minutes

2.      Heat you griddle pan, George foreman grill or your standard grill.

3.     Heat the sesame oil in a wok then dice the ginger and garlic also chop the spring onions in to 1cm pieces. Add the ginger, garlic, spring onion and chilli to the oil and heat through for a minute.

4.     Pop the salmon in the pan or grill, it only needs a few minutes each side in the pan. I quite like my salmon a tad under cooked but it’s entirely up to you.

5.     Lob in all the veg to the work, add the soy sauce and lime, give it a good stirring it should only take a few minutes to cook.

6.     The sesame seeds are optionally I personally sprinkle some in to the veg and over the top of the salmon

7.      Then serve

As you can see it’s a very quick, healthy and tasty meal. You could make this even quicker if you have your ready done garlic, ginger and chilli there’s no reason why you couldn’t bang this out in less than 10 minutes if you exclude the marinating.

You can obviously add whole grain rice or noodles if you’re requiring carbs in your diet.

Also its worth bearing in mind that you can change the veg around, pak choi would work well and even a frozen stir fry veg pack.

Anyway enjoy.
