This might just be one of the easiest — and tastiest — Salmon Fried Rice recipes you’ll ever try! It’s packed with rich flavor and a satisfying texture that hits all the right notes. Fried rice has always been my go-to comfort food, and when paired with tender, flaky salmon, it becomes a hearty, wholesome meal you’ll crave again and again. Best of all, it’s not only healthy and delicious, but also incredibly quick to make — ready in just 15 minutes!
Incorporating more salmon into our daily meals is a great idea — it’s an excellent source of protein, vitamin B, and omega-3 fatty acids, all of which offer powerful health benefits. If you’re feeling a little bored with the usual pan-fried or baked salmon dishes, why not switch things up with this flavorful salmon fried rice? It’s a fresh, delicious twist that’s both nutritious and satisfying.
WHY YOU WILL LOVE THIS RECIPE
SMOKED SALMON
I’ve used Smoked Salmon with Black Pepper in this recipe. You can easily find this kind of smoked salmon in the supermarkets. You are welcome to use fresh salmon fillets and pre-cook your salmon before adding to the fried rice. But I find that the Black Pepper Smoked Salmon has that amazing flavor which goes perfectly with the fried rice.
THE RICE
I use the leftover rice from the day before. You can also cook your rice during the day and let it cool down. Sometimes, I just cook my rice right before making the fried rice, which I have done in some of my other recipes. The result is great too!

Notes
- Use one-day-old Rice for this recipe. You can also cook the rice during the day and let it cool down before use.
- I use the store-bought Smoked Salmon with Black Pepper. You can also use fresh salmon fillets and pre-cook them before adding to the fried rice.
- If you love a spicy version, instead of adding the Black Pepper, you can add 1 tbsp of Lao Gan Ma Crispy Chili Oil. The taste is great.
