5-INGREDIENT SALMON AND BROCCOLI STIR-FRY

5-Ingredient Salmon and Broccoli Stir-Fry image

When fresh wild Alaskan salmon is out of season, what's a girl to do? It's frozen salmon to the rescue. Since the texture of seafood changes from freezing, it's important to add moisture back in and cook it right. I've discovered that cutting salmon into bite-size pieces, like those in this stir-fry, enhances the texture of this omega-3-rich fish.

Ingredients

1 large bunch broccoli, florets cut bite-size, long stems sliced (about 4 cups)
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 medium orange (See Cook's Note)
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce, plus more for serving
1 pound salmon, skinned, patted dry and cut into bite-size pieces
2 cloves garlic, minced
Serving suggestions: rice or noodles

Steps:

Add 1/2 inch water to a large wok or saute pan and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the broccoli, covering loosely to allow steam to escape, and cook until bright green and nearly fork-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and transfer the broccoli to a plate. Wipe the remaining broccoli debris out of the pan.
Combine the orange zest, juice and soy sauce in a small bowl. Season the salmon with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Place the pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon high-heat cooking oil, like rice bran, canola or grapeseed. Tilt the pan to thoroughly coat the surface where you will be placing the salmon. Carefully add the salmon to the hot oil, reduce the heat to medium, and sprinkle in the garlic. Cook, undisturbed until browned on the bottoms, and the sides of the salmon turn opaque, about 3 minutes. Pour in the orange and soy sauce, and turn the salmon. Add the broccoli and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook until the salmon is cooked through and the juice thickens a bit, about 3 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the salmon and broccoli and serve with rice or noodles and additional soy sauce.
