Instructions:

Prepare the Salmon:

1. Pat the salmon pieces dry with a paper towel.
2. Toss the salmon in cornstarch until evenly coated. This will help create a light crust
   during cooking.

Make the Sauce:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and the
   cornstarch slurry (if using). Set aside.

Cook the Salmon:

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
2. Add the salmon pieces in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until
   golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set
   aside.

Stir Fry the Vegetables:

1. Add the remaining oil to the skillet.
2. Add garlic and ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add the bell peppers, broccoli, carrot, and zucchini. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes, or until
   the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Combine:

1. Return the cooked salmon to the skillet.
2. Pour the sauce over the salmon and vegetables. Toss gently to coat everything
   evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Serve:

1. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if
   desired.
2. Serve hot over rice, noodles, or as is.
