- Remove the salmon from the pan and keep it nearby.
- In the same pan, add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, and ginger.

- Cook for another minute, just until everything is coated and glossy.
Variations (changed perspective)
If you’re cooking from the fridge, this dish adapts easily. Swap the bell pepper for leftover vegetables, or use orange juice instead of pineapple juice for a softer sweetness.
