Ingredients

For the Salmon:

  • 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (or olive oil)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for searing)
  • Optional: pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or chili oil for mild heat

For the Shrimp:

  • 10–12 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil

For the Veggie Fried Rice:

  • 3 cups cooked cold rice (preferably jasmine or day-old rice)
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • ½ cup diced carrots
  • ½ cup chopped onions
  • ½ cup mixed bell peppers (red and yellow, diced)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low-sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (for richness)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • ½ cup sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (vegetable, canola, or avocado oil)

Instructions

1. Prep the Ingredients

  • Ensure your rice is cold and dry; this prevents it from clumping during cooking.
  • Chop all vegetables and set aside for quick access.
  • Pat the salmon and shrimp dry with paper towels to ensure a nice sear.

2. Cook the Salmon

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper.
  2. Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the salmon skin-side down first for 3–4 minutes, then flip.
  4. Pour the honey garlic mixture over the salmon and cook for another 3–4 minutes, spooning the glaze over the top until the fish is caramelized and glossy.
  5. Remove from heat and set aside.

Tip: The slightly sticky, deep amber glaze comes from letting the honey caramelize with the soy and garlic during the last minute of cooking.

3. Cook the Shrimp

  1. In the same pan, add a drizzle of sesame oil.
  2. Add shrimp seasoned with garlic powder, soy sauce, paprika, and black pepper.
  3. Sauté for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and lightly golden.
  4. Remove shrimp and set aside with the salmon.

4. Make the Fried Rice

  1. In a large wok or deep skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add onions, carrots, broccoli, and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
  3. Add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
  4. Push the veggies to one side and pour in the beaten eggs. Scramble until just cooked.
  5. Add cold rice, breaking up clumps with your spatula.
  6. Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix well to coat every grain evenly.
  7. Toss in the cooked shrimp and sliced jalapeños. Stir-fry for another 2–3 minutes until everything is evenly combined and the rice takes on a deep brown color.

5. Assemble the Plate

  • Serve a generous portion of shrimp & veggie fried rice on a large plate.
  • Place the glazed salmon fillet on top or to the side.
  • Spoon a little of the honey garlic glaze from the pan over the salmon and shrimp.
  • Garnish with extra jalapeño slices and chopped green onions for a fresh, spicy finish.
