A SALMON AND RICE SIDE DISH THAT EATS LIKE A MEAL

We’re all about fried rice recipes that go easy on the ‘fried’ aspect. Because, while there’s nothing like a good takeout rice recipe, we tend to err on the healthier side of things.

Well, this salmon rice recipe has monumental levels of flavor – and it will definitely satiate your craving for decadent flavors without having you shy away from the scale tomorrow morning!

This ricebowl gets a load of flavor from the salmon that cooks with the Japanese short grain rice. And the flaky salmon is fortified with the savory, umami notes of dashi powder and soy sauce.

Sake imparts a dry sharpness to the mixture, while fresh sliced ginger works its magic and delivers a slight burn and heat without going over into scorching territory.

Not only will your family be demanding second helpings, you’ll love how easy it is to make this salmon rice recipe in your rice cooker!
