Method
- Whisk together ingredients for sauce, and set aside.
- Pat dry salmon fillet, and cut into large chunks.
- Slice red onion into half moons.
- Peel and mince garlic cloves.
- Peel and grate ginger until you have about one tablespoon.
- De-seed bell peppers, then cut into bite-sized chunks.
- Wipe any dirt off mushrooms, then cut into quarters (or eighths if mushrooms are very large).
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat, then add salmon.
- Let salmon pieces cook, without stirring, until bottoms are lightly browned, about 4 minutes.
- Flip pieces over carefully and cook until the opposite sides are lightly browned as well, about 3 minutes. Salmon should be just barely cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add mushrooms to the pan. Sauté until mushrooms begin to brown, about 3 minutes.
- Push the mushrooms to the sides of the pan and add ½ tablespoon oil to the middle of the pan.
- Add the broccoli florets. Stir together, then cover and cook for 2 minutes.
- Remove cover, stir, then clear a space in the middle of the pan.
- Add ½ tablespoon of oil, then add onions, garlic, ginger, and peppers to the pan.
- Stir together and sauté for 5-7 more minutes, until vegetables are tender and starting to brown.
- Add salmon pieces back into the pan, and stir gently.
- Whisk the sauce again to make sure the cornstarch is well incorporated.
- Make a well in the center of the pan, then pour in the sauce.
- Stir while sauce thickens and turns into a glaze, about 30 seconds, then serve.
- Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired.
