Salmon and asparagus stir fry
One of my favourite fish is salmon. I love the taste and texture. On top of that it’s a very healthy fish that’s high in omega-3. If you like very high quality salmon, the best is Wild Alaskan Salmon which is much more costly. Over here in UK, there are a lot of farm reared salmon and they cost a lot cheaper. I eat both types.
Salmon is very delicious cooked in any way, whether deep fried, pan fried, stir fried, poached, smoked, baked or grilled. The most important is not to over cook it. It is very tender and delicious when just cooked but turns tough when over cooked. The time to cook depends very much on the thickness of the salmon.
This salmon recipe is another addition to my favourite. Since my family likes asparagus, I decided to cook salmon with asparagus. Asparagus is a very delicious vegetable, tender and has it’s natural sweetness and it goes very well with salmon. It is very delicious too with prawns as in Asparagus With King Prawns.
This recipe is again very simple. I love stir fry because it’s very easy and quick. All you need is a good wok or a thick based frying pan. I can’t cook without both.
Ingredients A
400g salmon (cut into pieces)
1T light soya sauce
2T chili sauce
1T corn flour
350g asparagus
Fry the salmon
Marinade the salmon with the soya sauce, chili sauce and corn flour for about 30 minutes. Heat up some oil in a frying pan. Add the salmon pieces and fry until just cooked. Dish up.
Fry the asparagus
Heat up some fried shallot oil in a frying pan and add the asparagus. Keep frying the asparagus until just tender.
Mix the salmon and asparagus
Pour back the salmon and add the seasoning in Ingredients B. Mix well and dish up. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste. The asparagus has a natural sweetness of its own so you may just want to keep the seasoning light and simple.
Ingredients B (seasoning)
1T fish sauce
1T chili sauce
fried shallot oil

@tigerfish - Ooops…I don’t even know that asparagus is seasonal. Looks ike I can always get it from the supermarket here. I guess they are imported. Spring is here so I hope to enjoy more fresh, local asparagus

There’s still no sight of asparagus here….the salmon dish looks so good with plenty of green asparagus.

Catherine on March 17th, 2010
This looks really tasty and healthy, the salmon chunks are very appetising!
Tangled Noodle on March 17th, 2010
Love this stir-fry! Salmon is definitely our favorite fish to have at home. I usually bake it simply with just a sprinkle of lemon, salt and pepper, but one of my husband’s favorite is with honey and fresh basil. As for asparagus, I usually just steam it although I have a very nice recipe for asparagus tart that’s great for brunch!
zurin on March 17th, 2010
nevr thought of stir frying salmon..whata fantastic idea!!! it looks soo delicious!!
COLARGOL on March 17th, 2010

@The Little Teochew - I’m trying so hard to make my children eat healthy food. Sometimes I wonder whether I try too hard….haha Quite like a battle between home food and outside food!

Jeannie on March 17th, 2010
I do not eat much fish especially salmons which are very expensive here. I eat them only when I get go to a Japanese restaurant, usually as part of a sashimi dish. This is a very different way of eating salmon. Looks good!
Mimi on March 17th, 2010
I haven’t stir fried salmon before, but this looks so good it’s going on the menu.
