Instructions

In a non-reactive container, marinate the salmon with salt, pepper and lemon juice for 20 minutes (do not marinate longer than 20 to 30 minutes or fish will cook in the citrus juice). Put this aside.
Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and warm water. When blended, add the soy sauce. Set aside.
Cook the vegetables: Using a medium-sized skillet, over medium-high heat, add the vegetable oil. When oil is hot enough, saute the onions, garlic and ginger.
Add the bean sprouts, red pepper and tomato. Season with a teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Stir fry for 5 minutes. When vegetables are soft, remove from pan and put aside.
Cook the salmon: In the same pan used earlier, add the salmon and pan fry for about 15 minutes or till fully cooked. When salmon is done, arrange on a platter nestled next to the vegetables.
Cook the honey glaze in the same pan. Add the honey-soy sauce mixture over high heat. This will boil in about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off heat. Add sesame oil. Pour liquid glaze quickly over the salmon and vegetables. Serve warm with steamed jasmine rice.
