FAQ's

Should You Wash Salmon Before Cooking?

There is no need to wash salmon before cooking. Indeed this could spread bacteria over work surfaces. To remove excess moisture from the salmon gently pat dry with a paper towel.

Why Do My Salmon Pieces Break Up When Stir Frying?

Don't stir fry the salmon continiously. Just turn the fish gently and occasionally until cooked through.

How Long To Store Leftover Salmon Stir Fry For?

This quick salmon stir fry is best served fresh. You can store leftovers in the fridge for 2 - 3 days though. I do not recommend freezing.

How To Reheat Salmon Stir Fry?

Reheat very gently over a low heat in a wok or large skillet.
