Ingredients
  

Main

  • 12 pcs. salmon belly approximately 1 ½ pounds
  • 2 tbsp. canola oil
  • 1 pc. onion medium-sized, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic peeled and crushed
  • 1 pc. ginger 1-inch, grated
  • 1 pc. red bell pepper chopped into small cubes
  • 1 pc. yellow bell pepper chopped into small cubes
  • 1 pc. green bell pepper chopped into small cubes
  • 8 pcs. baby corn canned
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 2 pcs. green onions white parts, finely chopped

For the marinade

  • 1 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp. soy sauce low sodium
  • 2 tbsp. sesame oil
  • 4 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp. rice vinegar

For garnishing

  • Green leaves of green onion very finely chopped
  • ½ tsp. roasted sesame seeds for each serving

Instructions
 

  • First, prepare the marinade for the fish. Combine the marinade ingredients in a mixing bowl large enough to hold all the salmon belly pieces. Stir until brown sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Put the fish in the bowl. Stir and make sure all the pieces are covered with the marinade. Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and let the fish sit in the marinade for half an hour in the fridge.
  • In the meantime, cut and prepare the vegetables.
  • Place a large skillet or a wok on the stove. Heat in a medium-high setting. Add 1 tablespoon of the canola oil to the pan. Heat until the oil becomes smokey.
  • Add the marinated salmon pieces (reserving the marinade) to the pan. Stir-fry the salmon for about 2-3 minutes or until it's lightly browned. Remove the salmon pieces from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
  • In the same pan, add the remaining oil. When the oil is heated, put the minced garlic and grated ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
  • Add the remaining vegetables to the pan. On medium-high heat, stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes or until they become tender-crisp.
  • Pour the reserved marinade over the vegetables and stir to coat them evenly.
  • Return the cooked salmon to the pan and shake the pan to make sure the salmon and the vegetables are well combined and heated through.
  • Divide the dish into serving plates. Garnish each plate with green onions and sesame seeds.
