How to make it
Whisk together apple jelly, vinegar, 2 tablespoons of water, soy sauce, and cornstarch in a small bowl.
Sprinkle salmon fillets evenly with salt.
Grill 10 minutes, or just until fish flakes with a fork.
Meanwhile, stir-fry carrots and parsnip in hot oil in a large skillet over medium heat 2 minutes. Add green onions and bell pepper; stir-fry 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove vegetables from skillet, and keep warm.
Add jelly mixture to skillet, and cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute or until thickened.
Spoon about ⅔ cup vegetables onto each of 4 plates; drizzle each serving with 1 tablespoon sauce. Top vegetables with salmon fillets, and drizzle 1 tablespoon sauce over each fillet.
