Ingredients:

For 2 Servings:

1. 4 oz smoked salmon, sliced into bite-sized strips
2. 1 cup snow peas, trimmed
3. ½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
4. ¼ small red onion, thinly sliced
5. 1 clove garlic, minced
6. 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger (or ¼ tsp ground ginger)
7. 1 tablespoon sesame oil or olive oil
8. 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce or tamari (gluten-free)
9. 1 teaspoon rice vinegar or lemon juice
10. Pinch of red pepper flakes or black pepper (optional)
11. Toasted sesame seeds and green onions for garnish

Instructions:

Step 1: Heat the Oil

In a large skillet or wok, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat.

Step 2: Stir-Fry the Veggies

Add garlic and ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add snow peas, red pepper, and onion. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 3: Add the Salmon

Toss in smoked salmon strips and cook for 1–2 minutes more, just to warm through. Don’t overcook—the smoked salmon is already cured.

Step 4: Season & Finish

Drizzle in soy sauce and rice vinegar, and toss to coat everything evenly. Add red pepper flakes or black pepper to taste.

Step 5: Serve Hot

Plate immediately. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve as-is or over cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, or a bed of greens.
