Sugar snap peas and pea tendrils (the young leaves and shoots of the snow pea plant) give this dish a double hit of spring flavor.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1/4 cup Asian sweet chili sauce*
3 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
2 tablespoons finely grated peeled fresh ginger, divided
6 6-ounce salmon fillets with skin
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
8 ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed
1 1/2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or dry Sherry
3 cups pea tendrils** or pea sprouts** (about 6 ounces)
1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Line rimmed baking sheet with foil. Coat with nonstick spray. Whisk chili sauce, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon ginger in small bowl. Place salmon fillets, skin side down, on prepared sheet. Spoon chili sauce marinade over and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.

    Step 2

    Preheat broiler. Spoon any marinade remaining on baking sheet over salmon fillets. Broil salmon without turning until browned in spots and almost opaque in center, 6 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness of fillet.

    Step 3

    Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in wok or heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon ginger and minced garlic; stir until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add sugar snap peas and stir until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, rice wine, and pea tendrils and stir just until wilted, about 1 minute. Drizzle with sesame oil.

    Step 4

    Place 1 salmon fillet on each plate. Spoon warm pea mixture over salmon fillets and serve.

  2. Step 5

    • Available in the Asian foods section of some supermarkets, at Asian markets, and from amazon.com.

    Step 6

    ** Available at natural foods stores, farmers' markets, and Asian markets.
