Ingredients

  • 4 cups water
  • 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, about 1-inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cups asparagus, diagonally cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 cups hot cooked long-grain rice
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen peas, thawed
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Bring water to a boil in a large skillet; add salmon (skin side up). Return to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Remove fish with a slotted spoon and discard water; cool fish slightly. Remove and discard skin; break fish into large pieces.
  2. Return pan to heat; melt butter over medium-high heat. Add asparagus; cook 6 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in rice, peas, and broth; cook 1 minute. Add salmon, parsley, and remaining ingredients; stir well to combine. Cook 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

Notes

This version of stir-fry rice is a fine use for leftover salmon. You can make this even simpler by cooking rice and salmon a day ahead. Just warm both in the microwave before completing the dish.
