Servings: Serves 2

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. dry white wine or rice wine
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets with skin
  • 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 lb. sugar snap peas , ends and strings removed
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice , or to taste
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 tsp. salt , plus more to taste
  • 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper , plus more to taste
Directions
To make the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together wine, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger and cumin. Add salmon and turn to coat. Allow to sit, skin side up, while peas are cooking.

To make peas: In a saucepan, bring 1 quart water to a boil; add peas and cook 10 seconds. Drain in a colander and run under cold water to stop cooking. Blot dry on paper towels.

In a bowl, whisk together mint, lemon juice, oil, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Add peas; toss to coat. Adjust seasoning to taste.

To make the salmon: In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add salmon, skin side down, and partially cover skillet. Cook until skin is crisp and salmon is just opaque throughout, 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness.

Arrange salmon on a platter and spoon sugar snap peas around and on top. Serve with Fluffy Lemon Quinoa or Basmati Rice with Toasted Pine Nuts .
