Low Carb Salmon And Greens W Stir Fry Vegetables
How to Make It
Step 1
Pat 2 salmon filets dry with a paper towel. Arrange the salt, ginger, garlic, and lemon zest over the salmon. Gently press it in so the spices adhere. You may choose to do this step early and let your salmon marinate in the refrigerator for 2+ hours, or you may continue on to Step 2 right away.
Step 2
Drizzle the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and place in the salmon. Cook for just about 3 minutes per side, lowering the heat when you flip the salmon over. Your seasonings may turn crisp when cooked on the salmon, but adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning the garlic to black.
Step 3
Set the cooked salmon aside to rest, and return the empty pan to the stove. Combine sliced mushrooms and bell pepper with THAWED green beans in the pan. Season with the garlic, onion powder, and sesame seeds. Cook the veggies on high heat until everything has a glossy, golden brown seasoning to it – 6 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the lemon juice and soy sauce and let the steam infuse the veggies. Gently toss until the sauce caramelizes the vegetables and evaporates – just 1-2 minutes.
Step 5
Arrange the arugula fresh on a large serving plate (or just ½ oz per serving plate per person). Transfer the stir fried vegetables onto the arugula while hot so they slightly wilt the arugula.
Step 6
Top the serving plate off with the cooked salmon. At your discretion, you can serve with extra lemon juice or some sriracha.
