Soy-Ginger Salmon with Teriyaki Zucchini Noodle Stirfry

In our new apartment, at this time of year and in my position in my bed, the sun shines directly on my face at around 6:25am. Like, direct sunlight, in my face.

At this point, I have two options. One, get up and start my day OR two, get up, pull the shades down, and go back to bed.

What I’m finding is that thanks to the gorgeous natural sunlight, I’m invigorated the moment I wake up, and I’m more motivated to get up and start my day off right.

It’s been an amazing feeling. Who knew that natural light could have such profound effects on your psyche, but Lu and I are loving being woken up by the sun.

In our old apartment, we faced another building (my sister’s building, actually!) and so, we kept the shades down because we didn’t need any peeping Toms, ya know? But that meant that the room was a cave – we had blackout shades, so you could see any sunlight. It was much, much harder to motivate to get out of bed in the morning.

Last night, instead of setting an alarm, I let Mother Nature do the work for me, and I sprung out of bed, got my gym clothes on, brushed my teeth, and got a workout in. I even convinced Lu to get out of bed!

With my workout behind me and the fuel of a morning smoothie, I’m ready to conquer my Monday.

Today’s recipe was made after I was literally craving salmon and teriyaki sauce. I decided to make an #inspiralized version by tossing together some spiralized veggies (and bok choy) in teriyaki sauce and topping them with soy and ginger marinated salmon.

This is one of those classic stir fry recipes you’ll find yourself making over and over again – and feel free to change up the spiralized veggies! Or, marinate the salmon in your favorite teriyaki sauce, if you don’t feel like making a homemade marinade.

Happy Monday, everyone! Let me know how you started your Monday off right by liking and commenting on THIS Instagram photo and enter to win an Inspiralized sticker! I’ll be selecting THREE winners by the end of today!

  • 3 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 2 4oz pieces of salmon
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 small white onion
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • 3 cups chopped bok choy
  • ¼ cup teriyaki sauce or make homemade – see note below

  • What do you think of sweet potato noodles? zucchini always goes soft on me and I have never been a fan of peppers, any colors any time. Unfortunately because they easily go with everything. Thanks! Love love love spiralizing!!
  • Recipe sounds amazing! In step 5, says to add in the teriyaki sauce after veggies have wilted a bit. Is it the sauce that the salmon was in? Is the sauce divided first, half for marinade and half for stirfry sauce? Just want to be sure I don't toss the marinade if I'm using it as stirfry sauce. Thanks!
  • When do you add the chopped bok choy?
  • And the honey and orange juice? Do they go in with the teriyaki?
    • I get it now, they are part of the home-made teriyaki!
  • Sounds great. I don't see a note below the recipe about making the teriyaki sauce myself. R
  • Which blade do you use to spiraling the vegetables in this recipe?
  • Made this last night and it was awesome! My new FAVORITE Salmon dish.
