- 1 cup broccoli florets, raw
- 2 tbsps. avocado oil, or light olive oil
- ¼ cup soy sauce, low sodium

Instructions
- Whisk together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl until the cornstarch dissolves completely.
- Cut the salmon into 1-inch cubes and marinate in half of the sauce for 10 minutes at room temperature. Set the remaining sauce aside.
- Prepare the vegetables by washing them; break broccoli into florets, julienne the carrots, and slice the bell peppers thinly.
- Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add broccoli, bell peppers, and carrots, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender. Set aside.
- Wipe the skillet clean, add fresh oil, and when hot, add the salmon cubes in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes without moving them, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until almost done.
- Pour the reserved teriyaki sauce into the skillet with salmon and let it simmer for about 30-60 seconds until it thickens and darkens.
- Return sautéed vegetables to the skillet and gently fold everything together. Heat for an additional 60 seconds until vegetables are warmed through.
- Remove from heat, garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, and serve warm over jasmine rice or rice noodles.
