Being from Florida, I am a super seafood lover and I am proud to say my daughter is following in my footsteps! Her favorites are shrimp, crab, tuna, and salmon. Unfortunately, where we live in Louisiana, seafood isn’t as readily available as back home, but I still get plenty of fresh Gulf shrimp and beautiful Salmon filets. So this was one of those recipes that I just threw together with what was available in my fridge {and what I knew my daughter would eat}. We eat fried rice and stir-fries often but this was my first time adding mango {another Ava favorite} and salmon to the rice. I will add I used a lot of butter in this recipe but you can easily omit some and substitute olive oil or sesame oil in the rice. I just think- sometime butter is better (especially in fried rice)! I topped it with my absolute favorite condiment: Annie Chun’s GoChoJang Sauce (spicy Korean BBQ). Not only is this colorful dish beautiful to look at, my Spicy Salmon and Mango Fried Rice Bowl will make your taste buds sing with happiness {oh yes it’s that good!}.
Talk about bang for your buck! The salmon I purchase is usually a huge filet for around $15-$20.
I rinse it, pat dry, and cut it into 6-8 portioned filets and separate into labeled freezer bags with 2 per bag all ready for meals.

This was delicious! Even my non veggie eating bf went back for seconds!!! I added a chopped, cooked chicken breast to make it a main dish. This will be in our regular menu rotation.
This can be just a yummy and simple one dish meal that is very good for whenever you have left over rice!
