Salmon fried rice is a delicious one-pan meal that you can quickly whip together using a few pantry ingredients. The juicy salmon, tender eggs, crisp veggies and buttery rice all work together to create a satisfying and healthy meal for your weekday dinner.
Fried rice is such a staple in Chinese cooking and it’s one of those things I never get tired of. No matter whether you’re looking for a quick dish using leftover rice or you want something filling and hearty, fried rice always fits the bill.
Salmon fried rice is a step up from your simple five-ingredient egg fried rice. It uses large salmon bites to create a scrumptious fried rice that is colorful, satisfying to eat, and full of healthy protein. It is perfect for a one-pan dinner during the week or for meal-prep ahead of time.
