Description

Honey-Chili Glazed Salmon with Veggie Fried Rice is a sweet, spicy, and savory seafood dinner featuring perfectly glazed salmon paired with vibrant, aromatic fried rice packed with vegetables.

Ingredients

  • For the Salmon:
    • 2–3 salmon fillets
    • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
    • 1 tbsp soy sauce
    • 1 tbsp honey
    • 1 tsp chili flakes (or more for heat)
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 tsp paprika
    • 1/2 tsp black pepper
    • 1/2 tsp onion powder
    • Pinch salt
    • 1 tbsp chopped chives (for topping)
    • Sesame seeds (optional)
  • For the Veggie Fried Rice:
    • 2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old)
    • 1 cup broccoli florets
    • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
    • 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
    • 2 eggs, scrambled
    • 2 tbsp soy sauce
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 tsp sesame oil
    • 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
    • 1–2 green onions, chopped
    • Cooking oil
  • Optional Dipping Sauce:
    • 2 tbsp soy sauce
    • 1 tbsp honey
    • 1 tsp rice vinegar
    • 1/2 tsp chili flakes
    • 1/2 tsp garlic
    • 1 tbsp warm water

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk soy sauce, honey, chili flakes, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, onion powder, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add salmon fillets skin-side down and cook 3–4 minutes.
  3. Flip salmon, pour the honey-chili glaze over top, and cook until salmon is caramelized and fully glazed. Sprinkle with chives and sesame seeds.
  4. For the fried rice, heat oil in a pan. Add broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper. Stir-fry until softened.
  5. Add garlic powder, cooked rice, soy sauce, sesame oil, and oyster sauce. Toss well.
  6. Push rice aside, add scrambled eggs, cook, then combine everything. Finish with green onions.
  7. Mix dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl if using.
  8. Serve glazed salmon over or alongside veggie fried rice with dipping sauce on the side.

Notes

  • Use day-old rice for best texture—fresh rice becomes mushy.
  • Add peas, corn, or mushrooms for extra veggies.
  • You can air-fry the salmon for 8–10 minutes at 400°F then glaze on the stove.
