Ingredients
  

2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

1/4 cup teriyaki sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), sliced

1 cup snap peas

1 medium zucchini, sliced

1 carrot, julienned

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon:

    - In a shallow dish, pour the teriyaki sauce over the salmon fillets, coating them evenly. Let them marinate for 15-20 minutes for maximum flavor.

      Prepare the Veggies:

        - While the salmon is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Rinse and slice the bell pepper, zucchini, and carrot. Trim the snap peas.

          Sauté the Vegetables:

            - In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

              - Add the sliced bell pepper, snap peas, zucchini, and carrot to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the veggies are tender but still crisp. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.

                Cook the Salmon:

                  - In the same skillet, if needed, add a little more olive oil and increase the heat to medium-high. Once hot, place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy, then carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

                    Serve:

                      - Plate the sautéed veggies and top them with the cooked teriyaki salmon. Drizzle any remaining teriyaki sauce from the skillet over the top. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

                        Enjoy:

                          - Serve immediately with cooked rice or quinoa if desired, and enjoy your vibrant and flavorful meal!
