Pan-Fried Salmon & Asian Vegetable Wok

Are you looking for a quick & easy meal in under 30-Minutes? This flaky, delicious salmon with nutrient-rich vegetables is a cinch to prepare.

To perfectly balance the medium cook of the salmon to the high heat of the wok, the 2 are best when cooked separately. The secret to delicate salmon is to cook it over medium controlled heat and not to touch it once it is cooking. Flip the salmon when you see the soft pink color on the top.

The Asian Wok is packed full of fresh vegetables; carrots, zucchini, snow peas, shitake mushrooms, sprouts, & Chinese cabbage. Thinly sliced vegetables cook in the hot wok in a matter of minutes. Drizzle with the sweet-savory sauce and you have a fresh & enticing meal in under 30 minutes.
