Salmon fried rice
Ingredients
Plain rice360g
Olive oil3 tbsp
Salmon fillets3
Carrot, peeled and sliced into ribbons2
Onion, chopped1
Bell pepper, deseeded and chopped1
Soy sauce120ml
Eggs, beaten3
Method
- 1.Cook the rice in a pan of boiling water over a medium heat according to packet instructions. Once cooked, drain, rinse and set aside.
- 2.Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, then add the salmon and cook for 3 minutes, removing and discarding the skin as the salmon cooks. Don't worry if the salmon flesh starts to break up as it cooks, as this helps it distribute through the finished dish.
- 3.Add the carrot, onion and bell pepper, then stir to combine. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, push the salmon and vegetable mixture to the side of the pan, then pour the beaten eggs into the centre and scramble them as they cook.
- 4.Add the rice to the pan along with the soy sauce, then stir everything until the salmon, vegetables and eggs are well distributed throughout and the rice is piping hot. Remove from the heat.
- 5.To freeze: set the rice aside until cooled to room temperature, then spoon into a labelled freezer bag or freezer-proof dish and freeze flat.
How to cook
- 1.Serve straight away, spooned into bowls.
- 2.Or, if reheating from chilled, warm through in a pan or microwave for 3-4 minutes, until piping hot.
