Pad See Ew-Style Salmon with Broccoli

This dish is a simple and delicious way to cook salmon. The soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil give the salmon a savory and slightly sweet flavor, while the broccoli and carrots add a bit of crunch and color. The whole dish comes together in just 10 minutes, making it a perfect weeknight meal.

This recipe was inspired by my love of Pad See Ew, a Thai noodle dish that is typically made with chicken or beef. I wanted to create a version of the dish that was lighter and healthier, so I substituted salmon for the chicken or beef and added broccoli and carrots for some extra vegetables. The result is a dish that is just as flavorful and satisfying as the original, but with a fraction of the calories and fat.
