Teriyaki-Glazed Salmon with Stir-Fried Vegetables
2 T. light teriyaki sauce
¼ C mirin (or sweet rice wine)
2 T. rice vinegar
2 T. scallions (green onions), rinsed and minced
1½ T. ginger, minced (or 1 tsp ground)
12 oz. salmon fillets, cut into 4 portions (3 oz. each)
1 bag (12 oz.) frozen vegetable stir-fry
½ T. peanut oil or vegetable oil
½ T. garlic, minced (about 1 clove)
1 T. ginger, minced (or 1 tsp ground)
1 T. scallions (green onions), rinsed and minced
1 T. lite soy sauce
Thaw frozen vegetables in the microwave (or place entire bag in a bowl of hot water for about 10 minutes). Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 ºF. Combine teriyaki sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, scallions, and ginger. Mix well. Pour over salmon, and marinate for 10–15 minutes. Remove salmon from the marinade, and discard unused portion. Place salmon on a baking sheet, and bake for 10–15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork in the thickest part (to a minimum internal temperature of 145 °F). Meanwhile, heat oil in a large wok or sauté pan. Add garlic, ginger, and scallions, and cook gently but do not brown, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add thawed vegetables, and continue to stir fry for 2–3 minutes or until heated through. Add soy sauce.
