Fried Rice With Simple Baked Salmon Recipes

SALMON FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Slice the salmon down the middle lengthwise into 2 pieces. Slice against the grain into roughly 1/4-inch-thick slices. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add the salmon in a single layer and cook just until opaque, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
• Add ginger, garlic and the scallion whites and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the broccolini, asparagus and 2 tablespoons water and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to another plate.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to the pan and heat over medium-high until shimmering. Add the rice, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until rice starts to crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, push the rice to one side of the skillet and add the eggs to the empty side. Let sit until eggs are just starting to set around the edges, then gently scramble just until set, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Return the vegetables and most of the reserved scallion greens to the skillet and toss until warmed. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Gently fold in the reserved salmon and serve immediately. Top with remaining scallion greens and serve with hot sauce or chile-garlic sauce, if desired.

EASY FRIED SALMON

Steps:

• Season salmon with salt and black pepper.
• Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Place salmon skin-side up in the skillet.
• Cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn with a spatula and cook until salmon feels firm to the touch and skin is crisp, about 3 minutes more.

SALMON EGG-FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Mix the ginger, garlic, soy and vinegar, and set aside. Heat a large pan or wok and add 1 tbsp oil, the vegetables and salmon. Fry the salmon for 2 mins each side until it begins to turn opaque. Tip in the rice and stir, flaking the fish into large pieces, then move everything to the side of the pan.
• Add the remaining oil to the pan, crack in the eggs and stir to roughly scramble them. Once cooked, stir through the rice and pour over the soy marinade. Season and leave to bubble away for a few mins more, so that all the rice is coated in the sauce. Serve in bowls with hot sauce for drizzling.
