Teriyaki Salmon with Broccoli – Quick Stir-Fry Served with Rice Vermicelli
The recipe for Teriyaki Salmon with Broccoli wasn’t even supposed to be on my blog.
One day I was so busy that when it came to deciding about dinner, I felt as if I was going to cook for the first time in my life. My head was empty of any ideas.
So I checked what we had in the fridge and the pantry and decided to play it by ear. But I didn’t have high expectations as to the final result.
I found salmon and broccoli, so some stir-fry seemed to be a workable solution. However, there was only rice vermicelli bought by my husband some time earlier.
Since I thought we all preferred thicker, ribbon-like rice noodles, I didn’t expect big applause from my family.
But they loved this Teriyaki Salmon with Broccoli so much that they made me quickly write down the recipe while I still remembered it.
And when I cooked it again to make sure the recipe was correct, my daughter came to the kitchen, looked into the wok and said: “Oh, you are making my favourite dish!”.
Considering it was only the second time I prepared it, I think it is the best recommendation you can ask for 😉
Teriyaki Salmon with Broccoli and Rice Vermicelli
Ingredients
- 500 g salmon fillet
- 5 tbsp teriyaki marinade
- 1 broccoli cut into small florets
- 2 cloves garlic grated
- 2 tsp grated ginger
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 200 g rice vermicelli
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 1.5 limes juice of half and the whole one cut into quarters
Instructions
- Cut salmon into 3 cm cubes, put into a bowl with a teriyaki marinade, mix well and leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes (it can also be left overnight).
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan, fry the salmon cubes in 2-3 batches, stirring it gently (not to break it) from time to time for 2-3 minutes, put aside.
- Prepare the rice vermicelli per packet instruction. Drain it.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in the frying pan, add garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for 30 seconds, add the broccoli, and continue to stir fry. You can also add a few tablespoons of water to the wok. This will create steam that will make the broccoli softer faster without burning.
- When the broccoli is soft but still al dente, add the salmon cubes, fish and soy sauces, stir gently; add the vermicelli and lime juice; stir again. Serve with lime quarters.
