Prep Time30 Minutes

Cook Time14 Minutes
Ingredients
10 small broccoli florets
10 snap peas
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
2 Tbsp water
2 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp rice vinegar or cider vinegar
1 tsp finely grated fresh ginger, or 1/4 tsp dried ground ginger
1/2 tsp sesame oil
2 (5- to 6-oz/140- to 170-gram) snapper fillets (see Note)
1 Tbsp orange juice
salt and ground white pepper, to taste
2 tsp vegetable oil
1/4 cup diced onion
1 baby bok choy, coarsely chopped
1 or 2 green onions, depending on size, cut, widthwise, into 2-inch pieces
1/2 tsp cornstarch
lemon slices for garnish (optional)
Sriracha and roasted sesame seeds, to taste (optional; see Note)
Directions
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli and snap peas and cook two minutes, until bright green and firm/tender. Drain away the boiling water, and then cool the vegetables with cold water. Drain away the cold water, and then set vegetables on a plate.
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Combine teriyaki sauce, 2 Tbsp water, sugar, vinegar ginger and sesame oil in a small bowl. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Set on the snapper in a single layer. Drizzle snapper with orange juice; season with salt and pepper. Roast 10 to 12 minutes, or until cooked through.
- While fish cooks, place oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the broccoli, snap peas, bok choy and green onion and cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes. Mix the cornstarch into the teriyaki sauce mixture, add to the skillet, bring to a simmer, and simmer 30 seconds. Turn heat under vegetables to low.
- When snapper is cooked, set a fillet on each of 2 plates and top and surround with the teriyaki-sauced vegetables. Garnish with lemon slices, and serve with Sriracha and roasted sesame seeds, if using, for drizzling and sprinkling on the fish and vegetables at the table.
Note: If only large snapper fillets are available, buy one about 340 gram one, and cut into 2 portions. Teriyaki sauce, such as Kikkoman brand, the type used here, Sriracha and roasted sesame seeds are sold in our Asian foods aisle.
