Stir-Fried Salmon with Wine Sauce | Wok Wednesdays

This Stir-Fried Salmon with Wine Sauce popped up in the Wok Wednesdays rotation around the same time that my cousin brought back this gorgeous piece of salmon he caught in Alaska. He goes up there every year to go fishing and brings back amazing freshly caught and flash frozen salmon, cod, and halibut. He is so generous to share it with family.

These individual meatloaves with chili sauce are so amazingly good.

Second, instead of bread or crackers, the binder in this dish is rolled oats. Gluten free! (Did I just say that?).
