Ingredients

4- ounce salmon filet
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 green onion chopped, plus more for garnish
3/4 cup cooked cold rice
1 egg beaten
2 teaspoons soy sauce low-sodium recommended
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the salmon for about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and, using a fork, flake the salmon into small chunks.
Wipe the skillet and then add vegetable oil over a medium-high heat. Toss in the green onions and cook for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
Add the rice and spread in the skillet to form an even layer. Leave to cook for 3-4 minutes.
Push the rice to one side of the skillet using a spatula or wooden spoon. Drop the beaten egg onto the other side.
Cook the egg for 30 to 60 seconds, stirring constantly until cooked through. Mix the egg with the rice and then add the soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir to combine.
Add the salmon chunks and gently fold them into the mixture. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve with a lemon wedge.
