This is like your usual fried rice and has no twist to it. I feel fried rice is a versatile dish and you can literally add anything you want to it and as I have been toying with some ideas for fried rice, I started with this simple salmon fried rice.
For this recipe, I used red bell pepper and spinach. You may also add mushrooms and any other veggies that you like. I also baked the salmon but you if want, you may pan fry them.
Do give this recipe a try and enjoy!
