This Crispy Rice Salmon recipe combines crispy, golden rice and tender, flavorful salmon, creating an irresistible contrast of textures and flavors.

Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 2 cups cooked rice (preferably a day or two old)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like cilantro or green onions) for garnish
  • Optional: sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the salmon: Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and rice vinegar to create a marinade. Brush the salmon fillets with the marinade and let them sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Cook the rice: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and the cooked rice, pressing it down into an even layer. Let it cook until the bottom layer becomes crispy and golden (about 5-7 minutes). Gently flip the rice and continue cooking for another 5 minutes until crispy.
  3. Cook the salmon: While the rice is cooking, heat another skillet over medium-high heat. Add a bit of oil and cook the salmon fillets for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
  4. Assemble the dish: Once the rice is crispy and the salmon is cooked, carefully place the crispy rice on a serving plate. Top it with the salmon fillets, garnish with fresh herbs and sesame seeds if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For the best crispy texture, use rice that’s a day or two old.
  • To reheat the rice, use a skillet over medium heat to crisp it up again.
  • Ensure the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for proper doneness.
  • If avoiding soy, substitute with coconut aminos.
