Wok-Seared Wild Salmon with Asparagus

2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar

2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 (1-pound) wild or farmed salmon fillet, skinned

teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons canola oil

1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch lengths

2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger

2 cups hot cooked brown rice blend

1  Whisk together vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch in small bowl until smooth.

2  Cut salmon fillet crosswise into ½-inch slices. Cut each slice crosswise into 4 pieces. Sprinkle with salt.

3  Heat wok or large deep nonstick skillet over high heat until a drop of water sizzles in pan. Add oil and swirl to coat wok. Add salmon and stir-fry until just opaque in center, about 3 minutes; transfer to plate. Add asparagus and ginger; stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.

4  Return salmon to wok. Re-whisk vinegar mixture; add to wok and stir-fry until sauce bubbles and thickens, about 1 minute. Serve over rice.
