How to Make Asian Style Salmon On A Bed Of French String Beans

  1. In a large zip-top bag, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp grated ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/2 tsp sesame oil.
  2. Add 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets to the bag, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp cornstarch and 2 tbsp water until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Heat a grill pan and a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Remove salmon from marinade, reserving marinade. Sear salmon in the grill pan for 2 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  6. Meanwhile, heat 1 tsp sesame oil in the wok. Add 1 lb trimmed French string beans, 1/2 red bell pepper (sliced), 1/4 cup sliced onion, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Stir-fry for 2 minutes.
  7. Add reserved marinade, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and the cornstarch/water mixture to the wok. Stir-fry for 2 minutes more until sauce thickens.
  8. Stir in 1 tbsp hoisin sauce and toss to coat the vegetables.
  9. If using shirataki noodles (8 oz), cook according to package directions. Alternatively, serve over cooked rice.
  10. To serve, place shirataki noodles or rice on a plate, top with the French string bean mixture, and then the pan-seared salmon.
  11. Garnish with sesame seeds (optional).
