Make
-
Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add first part of cooking oil (for salmon / vegetables). Remove salmon from marinade (discard marinade) and place flesh-side down in heated pan. Sear salmon on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Lower heat to medium, cover pan loosely with foil and cook for another 4 to 8 minutes, depending on thickness of salmon and desired level of doneness.
-
While salmon finishes cooking, heat a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add second part of cooking oil (for salmon / vegetables) and then carrots to heated oil. Saute until carrots are beginning to turn tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Add zucchini to carrots and continue cooking until zucchini start to brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Add bell peppers and onions and saute until soft, 2 to 3 minutes more. Pour reserved half of dressing and sesame seeds over vegetables and toss to combine.

Serve salmon over vegetables and finish with fresh lime juice. Enjoy!
