Other Veggies To Use

Fried rice is what we make when we have leftover rice, vegetables, and protein. So, throw in whatever veggies you have in your fridge, freezer, or pantry.

You can add chopped onions or shallots for more flavor. Feel free to add or substitute with chopped celery, carrots, bell peppers, edamame, chopped water chestnuts, or pineapples.

If you're really pressed for time, you can add a standard frozen stir-fry veggie mix to make it easier.

What to Serve With Salmon Fried Rice

You can round out this dish with a side of sauteed spinach or other greens. Or a side salad. Or a stir-fried vegetable, like broccoli or mushrooms and peas.

How To Store and Reheat This Recipe

Although fried rice is made from leftover rice and other ingredients, you may still have leftovers. Be sure to cool the rice completely before storing in an airtight container in your fridge.

You can reheat your fried rice in a wok or frying pan. Be sure to preheat the pan with a bit of oil first, then stir-fry until the rice is heated through, about 10 minutes (depending on your level of heat). Know that your salmon will break up some more though.

Alternatively, you can reheat your fried rice in the microwave. If the rice is a bit too dry, add about a tablespoon or two of water first for better steaming.

Leftover fried rice will keep for awhile in the fridge (or freezer), but the salmon makes it only good for at most two to three days.
