Food Photo of the Day ~ Salmon with Teriyaki Rice

 

Using prepackaged, tin or jar ingredients shouldn't come with a stigma or be shunned, yes fresh is preferred however time and money dictate. This was pulled together on a whim and was incredibly flavourful and delicious. I had leftover rice and that was the basis for this dinner and side dish. I started by sautéing a bunch of chopped green onions in sesame oil and adding a teaspoon of Chinese Five Spice seasoning, then adding the leftover rice, frying for a few minutes, then pouring half a jar of leftover teriyaki sauce over the rice and mixing until well coated,; I created a simple teriyaki sticky rice that went well with the oven roasted herb salmon. I managed to make a runny sesame sauce to pour over the salmon and then added shredded carrots and sliced cucumber for a fresh colourful taste.
