Notes
- Make sure you pat down the salmon before adding it to the marinade.
- Have your ingredients prepped before firing up the pan/wok, things move quick!
- Do not stir the salmon pieces will they cook or they will flake.
- Allow the salmon to obtain a gold crust while cooking before turning over gently in the pan.
- Wait for the oil to heat before adding the vegetables into the skillet. This allows the vegetables to fry and retain a little crunch instead of slowly cooking.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
