LEMON PEPPER SALMON STIR-FRY

Lemon Pepper Salmon Stir-Fry is a light yet flavourful dish that combines tender, flaky salmon with crisp broccoli in a simple yet vibrant lemon-infused sauce. The natural richness of salmon is balanced with a zesty burst of lemon juice and a mild heat from freshly ground black pepper, creating a dish that is both refreshing and satisfying. High in protein and packed with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, this meal is an excellent choice for a nutritious and quick dinner. Stir-frying allows the salmon to develop a beautiful golden crust while keeping the inside juicy and tender. The broccoli retains its slight crunch, adding texture and nutrients to the dish. Perfect for busy weeknights, this easy-to-make stir-fry pairs well with steamed rice, quinoa or a light salad for a wholesome and delicious meal that is full of fresh, bright flavours.

PREPARATION

These steps are  followed for the preparation of Lemon Pepper Salmon Stir-Fry:

  • Prepare The Salmon: Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and cut it into bite-sized cubes for even cooking.
  • Heat The Pan: Place a non-stick pan over a medium-high flame and add the olive oil, letting it heat for about 30 seconds.
  • Sear The Salmon: Add the cubed salmon to the pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Cook The Broccoli: In the same pan, add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 2 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
  • Add The Seasoning: Drizzle the lemon juice over the broccoli and return the salmon to the pan, stirring gently to combine.
  • Serve Immediately: Remove from heat and enjoy hot, either on its own or with a side of rice, quinoa or roasted vegetables.

COOKING TIME

TIPS

  • Use Fresh Salmon: Fresh, high-quality salmon has the best texture and flavour.
  • Don’t Overcook The Salmon: To keep it tender, remove it from the heat as soon as it becomes opaque.
  • Enhance The Flavour: Add a pinch of black pepper and a sprinkle of lemon zest for extra depth.
  • Prevent Sticking: Cook salmon in a well-heated pan with oil to create a perfect sear.
  • For Extra Crispiness: Lightly coat the salmon cubes in cornstarch before cooking.

VARIATIONS

  • Different Vegetables: Swap broccoli for asparagus, bell peppers or green beans.
  • Extra Protein Boost: Add a handful of chickpeas or edamame for added protein.
  • Spicy Kick: Stir in red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for extra heat.
  • Garlic Infusion: Add a minced garlic clove while cooking for a more aromatic taste.
  • Low-Sodium Option: Use a low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos for a healthier alternative.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a pan over medium heat for the best texture.
  • Freezing: Cooked salmon can be frozen separately for up to 1 month. Thaw before reheating for the best consistency.
  • Meal Prep: Pre-measure the ingredients and store them separately for a quicker cooking process.
