Salmon Fried Rice

Ingredients:
1 trader Joe's salmon patty (thawed)
1/2 tbsp butter
1/4 cup white wine
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 cup cold cooked brown basmati rice
1/3 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup shredded carrots
1-2 green onions
Spray Butter
Spray Bragg's Amino Acid (or soy sauce)

Place butter, wine, and salmon in frying pan. Once the salmon starts to cook, cut salmon in pan into bite-sized pieces. Add green onions, pepper, and lemon juice. Cook until all liquid is gone and salmon starts to brown slightly. While salmon is cooking, microwave peas, carrots, rice, spray butter, and bragg's for 3 minutes. Stir microwave mixture into the frying pan. Cook an additional 3 minutes.

I use the term fried rice loosely here, because I know you are technically supposed to have eggs in fried rice, but since I don't like eggs, I left them out. If you want to use eggs, scramble the eggs first and then set them aside. Add the eggs with the microwave mixture. I didn't have carrots or green onions when I made this recipe and it was still delicious.

A few tips about this meal - Frozen brown rice is my favorite, but Trader Joe's is always out of it. So I started making my own. I freeze the rice in individual portions. It really helps when I'm exhausted at the end of the day and don't want to cook.

Without eggs this meal has about 440 calories.
