  2. Step 2
    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.
  3. Step 3

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

Note

For the best results use freshly cooked salmon or leftovers that are well-flaked to incorporate evenly into the rice.Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding a splash of soy sauce or a sprinkle of green onions for extra flavor. Ensure the rice is cold or day-old for better texture when frying, as fresh rice can become mushy. This dish is versatile, so feel free to add your favorite vegetables or adjust the spice level to suit your preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
How do I ensure the salmon stays tender in the fried rice?

To keep the salmon tender, avoid overcooking it. Cook until it just reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and flake it gently before mixing it into the rice.

 

What is the best way to prevent the rice from becoming mushy?

Use cold or day-old rice, as it’s drier and will fry better. Avoid adding too much liquid during cooking, and stir-fry the rice over high heat to achieve a slightly crispy texture.

Can I make this dish without soy sauce or other common allergens?

Yes, you can substitute with tamari for a gluten-free option or coconut aminos for a soy-free alternative. Adjust the amount to taste.

How can I enhance the flavor of the fried rice?

Incorporate additional seasonings such as garlic, ginger, or a splash of sesame oil for extra depth of flavor. Fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions also add a burst of freshness.
