Try this quick and easy salmon fried rice recipe – packed with tender salmon, fluffy rice, and vibrant veggies! A high-protein meal perfect for busy weeknights, it’s as nutritious as it is delicious.
Rice doesn’t have to just be a side dish, this salmon fried rice is a complete meal on its own. Made with leftover rice, seared salmon, delicious fresh vegetables, and a splash of gluten-free soy sauce (or Tamari sauce), this recipe is easy to make but hearty all the same.
Any time I have leftover salmon, I love to make this easy and quick one pan meal. My kids love it and always ask for seconds. You can make this recipe with pretty much any protein you have on hand.
Any cooled rice you have in the fridge will work for this recipe and it comes together quick enough for a weeknight dinner or meal-prepped lunch. It’s a tasty and versatile recipe to have on hand when you’re in a pinch but crave something classic.
