Salmon with Sugar Snap Peas

In our household, we love fish a lot but our favorite is salmon. Full of Omega-3 oils that are good for the heart, salmon is perfect for my wife because it has its own natural oils so we don’t usually add much oil (or any) to it. When we tried this recipe at home, we first started off with the stir-fry method because we didn’t have an oven yet. Now we DO have a small toaster oven, so we actually stir-fry the sugar snap peas and bake the salmon.

For both methods, how long the salmon takes to cook really depends on how thick the salmon filet is, so we recommend piercing through the salmon and checking if it is cooked through. If roasting the sugar snap peas, ensure that the sugar snap peas are dry otherwise the moisture will create more of a steamed effect. Serve this dish without carbs, or complement with a side of rice or potato salad or some fries and eat to your heart’s content.
