Ingredients:

2 salmon fillets
2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old)
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup frozen peas
1 carrot, diced
2 shallots, sliced
2 eggs
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Lemon or lime wedges (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

1 Prepare the Salmon
Start by heating olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook salmon fillets, skin side down, for 3-4 minutes until crispy. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fully cooked. Remove from pan, flake into pieces, and set aside.
2 Cook the Rice
In the same pan, add more olive oil if needed. Sauté diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant. Add cooked rice, breaking up clumps, and cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through and slightly crispy.
3 Combine Ingredients
Push rice to one side of the pan. Crack eggs into the empty side and scramble until cooked. Add frozen peas, diced carrots, and sliced shallots. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
4 Add Salmon and Seasoning
Return flaked salmon to the pan. Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.
5 Serve
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or coriander. Serve hot with optional lemon or lime wedges.
