Garlic Salmon Fried Rice

– 1 TSP Kosher Salt,

– 1/2 TSP freshly cracked Black Pepper, to taste

TBLS Olive Oil

TBLS Low Sodium Light Soy Sauce

TBLS Shao Xing Rice Wine

Mirin

TBLS Sesame Oil

TSP Chili Oil (optional) – (omit if making this mild)

TBLS Peanut Oil (or any other cooking oil

½ TBLS Sesame Oil

½ Yellow Onion – minced

Spring Onions – chopped,

Carrot – minced (brunoise cut)

Celery rib – minced (brunoise cut)

1.5-inch knob of Ginger – minced

– 16 Red Chilies, to taste (deseeded if desired

black pepper

1.5 TSP freshly cracked Black Pepper,

TSP Kosher Salt,

TSP White Pepper, to taste (use more if you’d like an extra kick of heat!)

TSP White Sugar, more or less to taste

Fresh ingredients: Chop the onion, garlic, ginger, red chilies, spring onion (be sure to separate the white and green parts), carrot, and celery rib as indicated in the &#8220;Ingredients&#8221; section. Set aside. Crack the eggs in a bowl and season with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Beat with a fork until smooth, then set aside.

Make the Sauce: Combine the low sodium light soy sauce, Shao Xing rice wine, mirin, sesame oil, and chili oil (if using) in a measuring cup (for easier pouring) or small bowl. Mix with a spoon to thoroughly combine, then set aside.

For the Salmon: Remove the fillets from the packaging they came in and gently wipe with paper towels to dry them. Then place them on a plate (or in a bowl) and season both sides with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Set aside.

Prep:

Pan-fry the salmon

Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the seasoned salmon fillets skin side down. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, then turn over the fillets using a fish spatula and cook the flesh side for another 3 minutes. Use tongs or the fish spatula to turn and crisp up the sides of the fillets – about 15-20 seconds for each side. Once the salmon fillets have cooked through, transfer the fillets to a clean plate and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes. Then flake the flesh with a fork and set aside. (Note: Keeping the skin on is up to you and a matter of personal preference. I prefer to discard the skin and just use salmon fillet flesh for this fried rice.)

Stir-fry the veggies and aromatics

In a large wok, heat the peanut oil, and the remaining sesame oil and chili oil (if using) over high heat. Once smoking, turn the heat down to medium-high and add the onion and spring onion whites. Stir-fry for a minute until translucent, then add the carrots and carrot celery and continue stir-frying for another minute. Add the garlic, ginger, and red chilies and stir-fry until fragrant &#8211; about 1-2 minutes.

Cook the eggs

Push the veggies and aromatics to the side and add a bit of oil into the wok. Pour in the beaten eggs and allow to set for a few seconds. Then scramble the eggs with your spatula and toss to combine with everything else in the wok. Season with freshly cracked black pepper, kosher salt, white pepper, crushed red pepper chili flakes (if using), and sugar and stir-fry to combine.

Add the rice, sauce, and salmon

Add the rice into the wok and pour the sauce all over it. Continue stir-frying for 3-4 minutes to combine, breaking up the clumps of rice as you go with your spatula. Then add the flaked salmon and toss for another minute or two, or until heated through. Taste and season with additional sugar, salt, or pepper if needed. Then switch off the heat and stir in most of the spring onion greens until combined.

To Serve

Transfer the Garlic Salmon Fried Rice to a serving dish (or bowls). Drizzle a little sesame oil on top if desired and garnish with the remainder spring onion greens. Serve immediately (or cool quickly and store in airtight sealed containers in the fridge for 3-4 days).

For the Garlic Salmon Fried Rice:

We made this last night with some leftover salmon we had in the fridge and it turned out great. My wife is not big on spice so we didn't use any of the chilies and cut the crushed red pepper flakes in half. Was still delicious. Looking forward to leftovers for lunch tomorrow! Thanks for such a great recipe.

sesame oil (divided)

rice ( preferably brown short grain)

Cook salmon in a skillet over medium-high heat about 5 minutes on each side. Set aside and flake the salmon into small chunks with a fork. Wipe the skillet.

Heat 1/2 teaspoon of the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add scallion whites and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the rice in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bottom becomes slightly crispy. Add the cauliflower rice, continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until combined.

With a spoon or spatula, push the rice to one side of the skillet. Crack the egg onto the other side.

Cook, constantly stirring the egg, 30 to 60 seconds or until cooked through. Mix the rice, cauliflower and egg to thoroughly combine. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil.

Wipe the wok/skillet clean if necessary. Bring it back up to heat and add 1 Tbsp of cooking oil. Add shallots and stir fry for about 1 minute. Add the salmon pieces and stir fry&nbsp;until they turn pink. They don't take long to cook since they are in small pieces, about 1 minute or less
