Salmon Fried Rice

Salmon Fried Rice | The Mother Cooker

I know that I have shared a few fried rice recipes lately, but I couldn't let salmon week pass without sharing this. It's the most made recipe in our house, it's so simple but so delicious. It works just as well cold as it does warm and is a great take to work lunch. I think I have made it for every single member of my family and it will forever be my husband's choice for work lunches from now until forever.

There's no soy in this fried rice recipe, believe it or not, all you need is a packet of smoky BBQ fajita seasoning. That's your ticket to a lovely spicy flavour, couldn't be easier. This was my simpler version of my salmon firecracker fried rice, which is also delicious by the way. I hope you give it a try, let me know if you like it.
