Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep the Ingredients

  • Ensure your rice is cold and dry to prevent clumping.
  • Chop all vegetables and set aside.
  • Pat the salmon and shrimp dry with paper towels.

Cook the Salmon

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 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 another 3–4 minutes, occasionally spooning the glaze over the top until the fish is caramelized and glossy.
  5. Remove from heat and set aside.

Tip: Let the honey caramelize with the soy and garlic during the last minute of cooking for a deep amber glaze.

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 2–3 minutes per side until pink and lightly golden.
  4. Remove shrimp and set aside with the salmon.

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 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.

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.

Healthier Alternatives for the Recipe

For a lighter version, consider using brown rice instead of jasmine rice to increase fiber content. You can also reduce the sodium by using low-sodium soy sauce and omitting the oyster sauce. Steaming the salmon instead of searing can further reduce fat content.

Pair this Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon with Shrimp & Veggie Fried Rice with a crisp, refreshing salad or a light miso soup for a complete meal. A chilled glass of white wine or a light, fruity mocktail would complement the flavors beautifully.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  2. Clumpy Rice: Always use cold, day-old rice for the fried rice to avoid clumping.
  3. Underseasoning: Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning to your preference.

Storing Tips for the Recipe

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, gently warm in a skillet over medium heat or microwave in short bursts, stirring occasionally.
