Fried Rice Recipe with Salmon.
Fried rice? Of course we love it! With salmon….now we are talking. How many of you have ever tried this dish? I can tell you that this fried rice with salmon is one of my comfort foods. (And a way to save my leftover rice from being thrown away). Gosh, why do I have so many comfort foods? Untuk versi bahasa kunjungi Resep Nasi Goreng Ikan Salmon.
I often mix my white rice with lentils and brown rice like I have this time. I mix them equally to get more benefit as lentils and brown rice are healthier option than white rice (so they say). But if you only have white rice in your pantry or left over steamed white rice, that’s good too. This is how much I don’t like to waste. When we have left over fried rice (only) from Chinese take away I will still add salmon to make it a full meal again.
We always make sure that we have enough stock of salmon in our house, it has to be in the freezer of course. If I can’t decide what’s for dinner, salmon is the answer. If we have friends coming over and they stay for dinner, salmon is the answer. It’s just very easy to cook and quick too. Convenient!
It’s amazing how much I love sea fish now considering I didn’t grow up with it especially salmon. My first experience eating salmon probably when I was 22 years old. After I’m graduate from my uni.
Anyhoo, I hope you like the recipe and if you make it, please let me know what you think 🙂
