Ingredients

Oils and Sauces

  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 3 to 5 Tbsp coconut aminos

Vegetables

  • 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 large crown broccoli, chopped into florets
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, cut into match sticks
  • 3 cloves garlic (optional)
  • 1 yellow squash, chopped
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Fish and Seasoning

  • 1 lb salmon, chopped into 1-inch chunks (skin removed)
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 Tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the salmon: Place the salmon fillet on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to carefully remove the skin. Chop the salmon into 1-inch chunks and set aside until ready to use.
  2. Cook the carrots: Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the sliced carrots and cover the skillet. Let cook for 2 minutes to begin softening the carrots.
  3. Add remaining vegetables: Add the chopped broccoli florets, red bell pepper match sticks, and garlic cloves (if using) to the skillet. Stir the mixture and cover again, cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Then add the chopped yellow squash and stir it into the cooking vegetables.
  4. Cook the salmon with vegetables: Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet to create space. Add the salmon chunks, pour in the coconut aminos, and sprinkle the 1/4 teaspoon sea salt. Cover the skillet and cook for 3 minutes, allowing the salmon to start cooking through.
  5. Finish cooking: Remove the cover and continue cooking for 5 to 6 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated and the salmon is thoroughly cooked. Stir gently to combine everything, using a spatula to keep the salmon chunks intact.
  6. Season and garnish: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional sea salt if desired. Sprinkle red pepper flakes and sesame seeds over the stir fry, then stir in the chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

  • You can omit the garlic if preferred or substitute with garlic powder for convenience.
  • Adjust the amount of coconut aminos to make the dish more or less savory according to your taste.
  • Use fresh salmon for the best texture and flavor, but frozen salmon that has been thawed can also work.
  • Serve the stir fry with steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
  • To make the dish spicier, increase the red pepper flakes or add a splash of chili oil.
