Spicy Eggplant, Onion and Bell Pepper Stir Fry with Over the Top Southeast Asian Crusted Salmon

spicy eggplant

You only have 30 minutes to make dinner on a Tuesday, but you had 15 minutes in the morning before you left for the day. Try this prep ahead, "cook quickly" recipe for a Pan Asian dinner you will make again and again. Crusting the salmon after it's marinated with the Southeast Asian Over the Top is a step you don't want to miss.

Take some chef's poetic license and mix up your vegetables using mushrooms and zucchini as well. Double the amount of sauce if you want extra for drizzling at the table.
