The Best Salmon Fried Rice

No ratings yet
I’m a sucker for a good one-pot dinner, and this Salmon Fried Rice is seriously one of my all-time favourites. It’s quick (ready in 10 minutes), cozy, and ridiculously flavorful with just a handful of ingredients you probably already have in your fridge.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups day-old cooked rice cold is KEY
  • 10 oz salmon fillet skin off
  • ½ onion minced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 eggs whisked
  • 2 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon white pepper

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Pat dry and season the salmon with a pinch of salt and white pepper.
    10 oz salmon fillet
  2. Heat the wok and add some oil. Cook the salmon at 3 min per side until just about cooked through. Break into large chunks. It will cook longer, so do not fully cook the salmon.
    2 tbsp avocado oil
  3. Add onion and garlic. Sauté 2 minutes until fragrant.
    ½ onion, 3 cloves garlic
  4. Add day-old rice, put it all on an even layer and don’t stir for 2 min so it crisps up.
    2 cups day-old cooked rice
  5. Pour in whisked eggs, let it cook for 1 minute, then fold into rice.
    2 eggs
  6. Drizzle soy, oyster, and sesame oils. Toss everything.
    1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, ½ tsp white pepper
  7. Garnish with chili oil, chives, squeeze lemon, and serve immediately.
    Garnishes with chili oil

Notes

  • Use DAY-OLD RICE - if you use fresh rice, you will get mushy fried rice. 
  • I love crispy rice in my fried rice. To get that texture, let the rice cook for 90 seconds without touching it. 
  • Add veggies if you want. 
  • Don’t break up the salmon too much, I like big chunks of salmon.
