Ingredients and Substitutions

All the ingredients needed to make this recipe each with a text overlay label.

A full ingredients list, along with US Customary and Metric measurements, can be found in the recipe card at the end of this post.

  • Oil - We used a good quality olive oil, but you could use sesame oil for extra flavour.
  • Vegetables - Here is where you can really adapt it. We used a bag of stir fry vegetables to keep it really quick and easy, but you can chop up your own favourite sit fry vegetables.
  • Salmon - We used our Air Fryer Salmon Bites recipe to turn it into this salmon stir fry. Such an easy way to cook salmon. But you could grill a fresh salmon fillet and cut it into chunks to use in this stir fry.
  • Teriyaki sauce - This is the BEST stir fry sauce in our opinion. We make our own Healthy Teriyaki Sauce, but feel free to use a really good quality store bought version too.
  • Sesame seeds - Sprinkle these on top before serving.

Variations

The great thing about a stir fry is that it is so easy to adapt with different vegetables or sauce.

We used our Homemade Teriyaki Sauce, but any kind of stir fry sauce like a Sweet and Sour Sauce would work. We also like just adding some sweet chilli sauce.

When it comes to vegetables, anything goes. It needs to be quick cooking vegetables as this salmon stir fry is ready in under 10 minutes.

However, longer cooking vegetables like carrot can still be added as long as they are peeled into ribbons or cut into thin strips. We love sugar snap peas, mushrooms, pak choi (bok choy) and bell peppers.

Serving Suggestions

We served this stir fry salmon with fluffy rice. Why not try our east Oven Cooked Rice, quick Microwave Rice or tasty Coconut Rice?

However, this also works really well as a salmon noodle stir fry. You can either cook the noodles in water and then stir them in before serving, or you can get quick cook noodles that you can just add in at the same as the vegetables. It goes well with our Soy Sauce Noodles.

For some added vegetables, why not serve this with our Roasted Tenderstem Broccoli or Roasted Pak Choi?

Extra Tips

  • If you don't want to cook the salmon in the air fryer, then you can fry it before cooking the vegetables. Make sure to cut it into small chunks, because it will cook quicker.
  • Make sure you stir the stir fry often. This cooks at a high temperature, so keep stirring so everything doesn't burn.
  • Add some thinly sliced spring onions on top before serving for some added crunch.
  • We wouldn't recommend freezing this, as the cooked salmon and vegetables change texture after thawing.
  • If you are cooking the salmon in the pan, and not air frying it, then you can marinate it first for extra flavour.

Frequently Asked Questions

This is best eaten as soon as it is cooked. However, if you do have any leftovers then they can be stored in an air tight container in the fridge for up to two days.

How to reheat leftover

To reheat leftovers of this stir fry salmon, just add a little oil to a wok or frying pan and reheat for 2-3 minutes until heated through.

How can I make a spicy stir fry?

If you want some heat on yours, then you can either add some chillies into your stir fry sauce, or drizzle some Sriracha on before serving.
