This honey garlic salmon stir-fry was adapted from this sauce recipe. As with all recipes, it’s best to make it your own. Add the levels of seasoning you prefer or even add more! I would also add some alcohol – wine or beer – to the sauce (if everyone is of legal drinking age) to add to the flavor profile.
