Salmon Fried Rice
This FODMAP-friendly recipe is full of flavor, simple to prepare, and makes enough servings for a batch cook.
gluten-free, pescatarian, FODMAP
Salmon Fried Rice
1 medium red pepper, chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
1/2 cup green onion, sliced (tops only if FODMAP)
3/4 cup frozen chopped green beans
2 tsp. or a few squirts (if spray) garlic oil
1 Tbsp. sesame oil
2 tsp. fresh ginger, crushed
195g. canned salmon
65g. canned tuna
2 large eggs
1 Tbsp. fish sauce
2 Tbsp. soy sauce or tamari
2 cups leftover white rice
In your largest skillet, heat the garlic oil over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and stir-fry until just browning. Add the peppers and green beans and stir-fry until carrots are softened and the rest are just starting to brown.
Add the rice, fish, sauces, sesame oil & ginger. Stir to combine and push to the sides to create a well in the center.
Crack the eggs into the well, stir, and let sit a couple minutes to create some curds.
Stir all together to combine.
When the eggs are solid, split into fourths and serve.

I don’t want to be here today.
About 5 minutes in to my :36 podcast, my brain, body and entire being started screaming that it didn’t want to be here – walking on the treadmill or in the gym at all.
So I switched to the bike – no dice; my knee was popping something fierce.
The swishy arm step thingie: still no dice.
So I chose to honor that feeling today and bailed :20 in.
Not sure if this was the best call, but it was the call made today and I’m way happier snuggling my sleepy pups in relative silence.

FODMAP Diet – Week 6
This was my sixth week on the FODMAP diet, and it went well. I ended up eating at home a bunch and even managed to stay, at least in my calorie macros, pretty on track.

An explanation
Proposed Meal Plan
Breakfasts
- Overnight oats
- 1 planned breakfast out
Lunches/Dinners
- Salmon fried rice
- Miso orange roasted veggies
- Rotisserie chicken
- Probably 1 lunch out, maybe 2
Snacks
- ? Find something?
Actual Meal Plan
Breakfasts
- Overnight Oats with blueberries, tahini or peanut butter, and pumpkin seeds or granola
- Chicken breast/poached egg/hashed browns out
Lunches/Dinners
- The salmon fried rice was even better than anticipated (recipe coming soon!)
- Rotisserie chicken is such an easy staple to keep on hand – whip up a batch of rice early in the week, and you’ve got 3/4 of dinner ready in minutes
- Roasted sweet potato/butternut squash/carrot mix with orange miso dressing to toss in with chicken
- Chirashi and steak out for lunch
- Mussels frites out for dinner – chose Thai style because the broth was made from compliant ingredients; didn’t end up eating much of the broth anyways
- Scrounge dinner of leftover rice with a little butter, some furikake seasoning and a touch of sweet soy sauce to hit macros one night
Snacks
- Bought some more mostly joyless carbs – this time in the form of oat crackers. Must do more snack research. I’m sucking at snacks lately, and my favorite go-tos are off limits (almonds, corn nuts, wasabi peas, dried fruit)
What did I learn this week?
Salmon fried rice is delicious. And I’m sad I ate all of it – will have to make again soon.
Also, because I was digging that dish so much, I kinda re-discovered being excited to come home to a batch-cooked meal. It’s not like what I usually make isn’t good – or isn’t exciting – but something about this dish had me wanting to choose to go home for lunch rather than deal with finding something to eat while out.
