Salmon Stir Fry

A quick, colourful stir fry with flaky salmon, crisp vegetables, and rice noodles. High in protein and omega-3, on the table in about fifteen minutes.

Why this works on GLP-1

Salmon is a standout dinner choice on GLP-1 medication: it delivers a generous amount of protein to help protect lean muscle during weight loss, plus omega-3 fats that support heart and general health. Stir-frying keeps it quick and needs very little oil.

A ready mixed-vegetable pack makes this genuinely easy on a low-energy evening, adding fibre and colour for very little. Keeping the sauce light lets the salmon shine while avoiding the sugar and salt found in many bottled stir-fry sauces.

Ingredients · makes 1 serving

Salmon filletSkinless, cut into chunks 150 g
Mixed vegetablesA ready stir-fry pack, or your own mix 150 g
Rice noodlesCooked to serve 1 nest (about 60 g dry)
Soy sauceLow-sodium, for the sauce 1 tbsp
Garlic and gingerMinced or grated 1 clove · 1 tsp
Avocado oilFor the high-heat stir fry · high smoke point 1 tsp
To finish, optionalSesame seeds, spring onion, lime, chilli flakes to taste

Method

Cook the noodles. Prepare the rice noodles according to the packet instructions, then drain and set aside.
Sear the salmon. Heat 1 tsp of avocado oil in a wok or large pan over high heat. Add the salmon chunks and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, turning gently, until just cooked and golden. Remove carefully so the pieces stay whole.
Stir-fry the vegetables. Add the mixed vegetables to the hot pan with the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes, until tender but still crisp.
Combine and serve. Add the noodles and soy sauce, toss for a minute, then gently fold the salmon back through so it stays in pieces. Finish with sesame seeds or spring onion, and eat slowly to gauge fullness on a reduced appetite.
