This quick-cooking Teriyaki Salmon Stir-Fry is packed with umami flavor from a homemade teriyaki sauce. This pantry-driven sauce comes together quickly with water, soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and fresh garlic and ginger for mild heat. Making the sauce is super easy. Just add all the ingredients to a mason jar and shake.
To cook the salmon, pat dry the bite-sized fish cubes with paper towels and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Set aside. Cook the broccoli florets in hot oil until starting to brown. Add in the water, then cover the pan with a lid and cook until the broccoli is tender but still crisp. Remove the broccoli from the pan. Cook the salmon, turning for 3-5 minutes until nearly cooked through. Add in the prepared teriyaki sauce and simmer until the sauce is thick and covers the salmon. Finally, return the broccoli to the pan and toss everything together. Serve over the cooked soba with a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top.
To make the Teriyaki Salmon Stir-Fry, you will need the following ingredients:
In a mason jar, combine ½ cup water, ¼ cup soy sauce, 3 tablespoons light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon mirin, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and shake vigorously until there are no cornstarch lumps. Alternatively, whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl.
Cook the soba noodles (or rice) according to the package directions.
Pat dry 1 pound salmon cubes with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
In a large nonstick pan or wok over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons cooking oil and add 10 ounces broccoli florets. Cook, stirring occasionally, until brown in spots, about 5 minutes.
Pour 2 tablespoons water over the broccoli and cover the pan with a lid. Cook the broccoli, covered, until tender but still crisp, 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove the broccoli florets from the pan and set them aside next to the stove.
Return the pan to medium-high heat and let any excess water evaporate. Reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, add the salmon cubes and cook until golden brown. Gently flip the salmon to cook on all sides until nearly cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes total.
Pour the teriyaki sauce over the salmon and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 1 minute until the sauce is thick and coats the salmon.
Return the broccoli florets to the pan and gently toss everything together.
Serve the salmon stir-fry over the soba noodles with a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top. Enjoy!
