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 it, 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.

| Here is it…the BEST SAUCE EVER! I add it to eggs, burritos, rice, soup, you name it! I have purchased it at Whole Foods, HEB and Publix. |
Ingredients:
Makes 4 servings
- 2 salmon filets (around 4-6 oz each), rinsed and skin removed

- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce

- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tbsp Teriyaki sauce/marinade, I like Mr Yoshiba’s

Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place salmon filets in a baking dish. Coat in teriyaki marinade and top with a tbsp of butter each.
- Place in oven and bake for 20 minutes, until cooked through and flaky.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet or wok, add a tablespoon of butter to a skillet and add mushrooms. Saute until golden.
- Push mushrooms to the side and add another tablespoon of butter.

They say you eat with your eyes first and this colorful dish is sure to make you want to dig right in!
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!
