One Pot Meals Part 3 - Salmon and Edamame Fried Rice

 

 

This recipe came about during one of my conversations with another busy mom when she mentioned she used salmon flakes to cook fried rice.  

My family enjoys this Japanese inspired one bowl fried rice.  It not only looks visually appealing with the bright orange and green colors, it is very tasty too.  Top it with plenty of crunchy shredded seaweed and sesame seeds for that extra flavour and crunch.
