Salmon

Wok Fried Rice

Method

Prepare the Salmon

1

Soak the Cedar Plank

Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour before grilling to prevent it from burning.

2

Prepare the Marinade

In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture over the salmon fillet.

3

Preheat the Grill

Preheat the grill to medium heat. Place the soaked cedar plank on the grill and close the lid.

4

Cook the Salmon

Once the cedar plank starts smoking, place the salmon fillet on the plank skin-side down. Grill for about 20-25 minutes or until cooked to medium doneness.

Prepare the Wok Fried Rice

5

Heat the Oil

In a large wok or skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

6

Add Vegetables

Add chopped green onions, diced carrots, and peas. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender.

7

Add Rice and Soy Sauce

Add the cooked rice and soy sauce. Stir well to combine and fry for an additional 5 minutes.

8

Add Egg

Push the rice mixture to one side of the wok, pour the beaten egg into the empty space, and scramble. Once cooked, mix it into the rice.

Prepare the Market Vegetables

9

Sauté the Vegetables

In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add assorted market vegetables, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender.
