Reheating: Reheat in the microwave, or lightly toss again in a heated skillet for a few minutes.
Frozen Salmon: You can use frozen salmon for this recipe. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then cut according to the recipe instructions.
Sesame Oil: I do not add sesame oil to my stir fry marinade. Instead, I garnish this dish with sesame seeds which adds that toasted sesame flavor.
