Ingredients
- 1 (6 oz.) pack Sockeye Salmon Strips
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 4 cups frozen or cooked vegetables
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Pat salmon strips dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to remove excess moisture. Set aside.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a couple of tablespoons of oil, then stir in garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, then add vegetables. Saute until heated through and any excess moisture has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Push vegetables to one side of the skillet to make space for salmon strips, drizzle in a little more oil to cover exposed surface of skillet, then add salmon. Gently flip or stir salmon to cook both sides of strips until just opaque, then fold into vegetables to combine.
4. Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy immediately.
