Salmon Fried Rice June 27, 2019 By The Cooking Nurse No Comments Salmon Fried RiceI couldn’t get enough fried rice while in Thailand, as nearly every meal consisted of some kind of fried rice or noodle. After a long day in the sweltering heat feeding elephants in the elephant sanctuary of Kanchanburi, we sat down for a lovely meal prepared by a local restaurant. The meal was served buffet style and the basil salmon fried rice was the only dish I went back for seconds to try! I knew then that I’d figure out a way to recreate this dish as well! Hope you enjoy!Prep Time: 15 minutesCooking time: 1 hour[recipe-ingredients]For the rice:2 cups of cooked parboiled rice2 tbsp corn oil1/2 onion, finely chopped1/4 green pepper diced1/4 red pepper diced1/4 yellow pepper diced1 tsp ground black pepper 1 tsp chili powder1 tsp all purpose seasoning1 tsp old bay seasoning1 tsp garlic powder1 tsp onion powder3 kaffir lime leaves1 tbsp browning3 basil leavesFor the salmon:4 salmon filetsSeason each with:1 tsp ground lemon grass seasoning1 tsp chili powder1/2 tsp chili paste (optional)1 tsp all purpose seasoning1 tsp garlic powder1 tsp fish seasoning[/recipe-ingredients][recipe-directions]First cook your parboiled rice and set to the side. Next, grill your salmon for 15 minutes or roast in the oven. When finished, set to the side. Use one salmon filet, and shred or break into small pieces with your hands and set aside. In a large frying pan or wok, set your fire to medium heat. Sautee your onions and peppers, and kaffir lime leaves for 1-2 minutes. Add seasonings and sautee for another 2 minutes. Add your shredded salmon next. Sautee for 1 minute and add rice. Continue to stir and add basil leaves. Lastly, add browning and stir until color is evenly distributed. Enjoy!
