Health Benefits in Salmon Stir Fry

Salmon is one of the best types of fish with which we can nourish our bodies. One of the first things for which people praise salmon is its richness in omega fatty acids, which aid in cardiovascular health, mood, cognition, joint protection, and eye health, among other positive effects. Salmon is also an excellent source of protein, and a great alternative to red meat.

After you flip them the first time, add the snow peas and carrots, and after the salmon’s second sides are browned, begin to toss everything gently several times (and every so often) as you add the ginger and garlic.

Cook until fragrant and all vegetables are tender, then add a few splashes of tamari and vinegar, and taste, adjusting if needed.

Place a lid on the pan and allow to steam for just another 1-2 minutes.

Remove the lid, stir in the cashews and scallions, tossing once or twice to combine before serving.
