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
- 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.
- 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.
