Notes

  • Storage: Salmon stir fry is best enjoyed right away, but it you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. You can eat it cold, or quickly reheat in the microwave. This recipe is not suitable for freezing. Gluten: the only gluten concern is the soy sauce. If you make homemade teriyaki sauce, use a gluten-free soy sauce, tamari, or coconut aminos. If you are using a bottled sauce, look for a gluten-free teriyaki sauce.
