Salmon Fried Rice & Teriyaki Salmon

Once a while, hubby will buy back fresh salmon from a frozen dealer around his working place. They sold to my hubby in whole block of fresh salmon meat which is not freeze yet. He will text me or inform my MIL, that we'll have salmon Sashimi tonight for example. So the other day, he got us a block of it. PIL gone for holiday, BIL and SIL didn't come back and only left 4 of us. We can't finish the Sashimi, so I kept the balance in the freezer.

 

To find easy Japanese cooking and recipes please browse from Nami ~ Just One Cook Book. For the Salmon fried rice, the salmon must be seasoned with salt and mirin instead of sake. Then baked in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or depends how well cook is your salmon. Just use a spoon to break the salmon in chunks and set aside.

Other ingredients: Carrots, big onions, spring onions, cooked Japanese rice (overnight one even better) and eggs. To taste: Salt, pepper, mirin and Japanese soy sauce (can add more for better taste and colour).

Just follow your own fried rice style. When the fried rice is almost ready, add in the scrambled eggs and salmon chunks. Do not over stir the fried rice or else the salmon is overcooked.

 Beside the fried rice above I also left some salmon to make Teriyaki salmon.

First marinade the salmon slices with salt and pepper. Then use a kitchen paper to pat dry. Lightly coated the fish slices with some all purpose flour (I forgot this step actually). Then fried it in a frying pan with some oil and butter until golden brown. Remove from pan and remove those excess oil. Next, prepare the Japanese authentic style of Teriyaki sauce - soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin and sake if have. Mix all together and bring it to a boil then add in the salmon back into the frying pan. Let the sauce absorb gradually until the sauce get thicken.

Salmon is rich in Omega 3 which growing children and pregnant mummy needed the most. I've prepared another portion for my BFF, Joanne who is 6 months pregnant (her second pregnancy). Can't wait to see her baby prince in March 2014.

Last Sunday, I'm not only prepared the salmon fried rice and Teriyaki salmon. I also made okonomiyaki and Miso soup again. Who else will request for these, if is not my son! Hehehe.... Enjoy Everyone!
