Description

A quick and satisfying Easy Salmon Fried Rice made with leftover rice, tender cooked salmon, vegetables, and eggs, finished with a balanced soy-sauce mixture for a flavorful and comforting meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2/3 cup diced red onion
  • 2/3 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 1-inch piece fresh ginger (grated)
  • 3 large eggs (well beaten)
  • 4 cups day-old cooked white rice
  • 1 cup frozen peas (thawed)
  • 2 cups cooked salmon (cut into large chunks)
  • 2 green onions (thinly sliced (including greens))
  • Cilantro or parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve the brown sugar in the soy sauce. Set the mixture aside for later use.
  2. Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large sauté pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the diced red onion and diced red bell pepper. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are lightly browned.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium, then add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for an additional minute to release their aromas.
  4. Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and stir gently until they are just cooked through.
  5. Add the day-old cooked rice. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently to break up any clumps and ensure even heating.
  6. Add the thawed peas, cooked salmon chunks, and sliced green onions. Stir carefully to avoid breaking the salmon into smaller pieces.
  7. Pour the prepared soy sauce mixture over the rice. Stir gently to evenly distribute the sauce and remove the pan from heat.
  8. Transfer the salmon fried rice to serving plates or bowls. Garnish with cilantro or parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use day-old rice for the best texture.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or broccoli.
  • Adjust soy sauce to taste.
