- 1 cup broccoli florets, raw
- 2 tbsps. avocado oil, or light olive oil
- ¼ cup soy sauce, low sodium

Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients until the cornstarch dissolves completely.
- Slice the salmon into 1-inch cubes and marinate in half of the sauce for 10 minutes. Reserve the rest of the sauce.
- Wash and prep the vegetables: break the broccoli into florets, slice the bell peppers, and julienne the carrots.
- Heat one tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetables and sauté for 4–5 minutes until crisp-tender. Transfer them to a plate.
- Wipe the skillet clean, add some oil, and sear the salmon cubes in a single layer for 2–3 minutes until golden. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until nearly done.
- Pour the reserved teriyaki sauce into the skillet with the salmon and simmer for 30–60 seconds until thickened into a glaze.
- Add the sautéed vegetables to the skillet and gently fold everything together, heating for 60 seconds until warmed through.
- Remove from heat, garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, and serve warm over jasmine rice or rice noodles.
Notes
