Ingredients
- 2 pieces salmon ~6 oz. each - try to get it with no skin or bone so it’s easier to eat
- 1 cup mushrooms I used shiitake and shimeji mushrooms but you can use any of your choice
- ¼ cup carrots sliced
- 1 cup cabbage chopped
- 2 cups rice
- 2 ½ cups stock of choice I used dashi stock
- 2 tbsp butter optional
- Salt & pepper to season
- ½ tbsp paprika
- Parsley to garnish
- Lemon juice to finish
Instructions
- Season the salmon with salt, pepper and paprika. You can be generous with the seasoning, especially the salt.
- In a medium pot, add in oil and pan fry the salmon for 2 min on each side, or until crust forms. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add in butter and vegetables. Saute for 2-3 min.
- Add in the rice, mix well - making sure the rice soaks up all the oil. Pour in stock of your choice. Season with salt and pepper if needed, depending on the stock used.
- Add back in the salmon, place it on top of the rice. Once simmering, put the lid on. Cover and cook on low heat for 18-20 min. Keep an eye out to prevent burning.
- Turn the heat off and let it sit for another 5 min with the lid on. Garnish with parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice and enjoy!
