Growing up with Japanese grandparents, fish and rice were pretty much a staple at the dinner table. Even when everyone else was eating an American-style meal, my grandmother would always prepare fish and rice for herself and my grandfather. It’s funny, as a kid, a fish and rice meal didn’t have the same appeal as fried chicken or pizza. Now that I’m older and wiser, I realize the simple meal that my grandparents ate was a better meal choice. Unfortunately, I don’t always have the time to steam a whole fish or cook a whole pot of rice. So in I put my thinking cap on and came up with my own version of my grandmother’s fish and rice meal – The 5-Minute Salmon Egg Rice Bowl.
How can I make a wholesome and nutritious meal in 5-minutes? It’s possible thanks to cups and Wild-caught Flavored Salmon Pouches. Both products are conveniently packaged and measured out to the perfect single serving size, so I don’t have to worry about portion control or overeating – win! And because these items don’t need to be refrigerated, I can toss these in my purse for the perfect on-the-go lunch or snack.
Seriously, rice and fish make a great partnership. So much so, that and Chicken of the Sea Flavored Pouches have partnered together for the “Salmon Loves Rice Sweepstakes” and to celebrate National Salmon Day. From September 25 through National Salmon Day on October 8, 2016, answer a few salmon trivia questions + use the hashtag #NationalSalmonDay on your social media platforms for a chance to win a 7-10-day Alaskan cruise and Flavored Salmon Pouches and Minute® Ready to Serve Rice products!
5-Minute Salmon Egg Rice Bowl
To make this 5-minute Salmon Egg Rice Bowl, I just followed the directions on the box and had hot rice ready in 60 seconds! Then, while the rice was in the microwave, I was able to cook the eggs and mix the Lemon Pepper Salmon Pouch with soy sauce. Of course, if you don’t care for lemon pepper, you can substitute it with one of the other Chicken of the Sea flavored salmon pouches – barbeque, sweet and spicy, or sriracha.
Finally, 0nce all the components are ‘cooked’, I mixed them together in a bowl and topped it with roasted sesame seeds and strips of nori (dried seaweed). And in about 5 minutes, I had a complete nutritious meal!
What will you create with and Salmon pouches?

What a yummy meal! perfect for our breakfast. I am going to try this
this seems very tasty and easy! thanks for sharing
I am so not good at cooking rice and knowing that there’s a ready made rice in the market is awesome! This is such an easy recipe to make! I would love to give it a try.
We always don’t know any better especially when it comes to healthy food when we’re kids. We always want what looks tasty rather than the so-called “boring” ones that our grannies and moms used to cook. I think this dish is amazing and I can definitely cook it!
Sounds a good lunch for me. I am going to try these
Fast and easy, and full of rice and salmon. What’s not to love? 🙂
Oh my goodness! This is my kind of breakfast! Brown rice is the best for diet.
This sounds pretty good. I may be trying this sometime
I love quick and easy. Great recipe that I will be trying. I love Salmon.
Yum! I love Salmon and egg. This recipe being quicka nd easy gives it major plus points for me. Thanks for sharing!
This looks so good! I love rice dishes.
Oh I am going to have to try this for my kids for lunch. They absolutely love anything with salmon. Why have I never thought of using those little things of rice before?!?! Such a time saver!
It’s a quick meal and tasty too. The microwave bowls make it really easy. BTW – I prefer the brown rice.
The salmon egg rice recipe looks yummy. I like your ingredients works well together. I never added Chicken of the Sea Salmon into rice. The salmon pouch and rice are quick and easy meals to prep for the family.
It’s really good and reminds me of the simple meals and ingredients that my grandmother would use and make.
Great post! This looks yummy. I like quick and easy cooking like this. Thanks.
Thank you. Hope you try it.
I am fan of Minute Rice I use it a lot in many recipes. And this bowl and the combinations really sounds delectable. And easy to make too =)
I love Minute Rice too. I’m finding more ways to use it now that the school and sport season has started.
I can relate a bit, growing up, I wanted pizza, burgers and the processed foods my friends had, not the “weird” homemade stuff my Italian grandmother made us from her garden. Oh, if I knew then how lucky I was ! This bowl is a great nod back to your childhood.
Isn’t it funny? Now that I’m older, I actually prefer the simple flavors and dishes that my grandmother used to make.
Since I no longer have a microwave I generally open up the ind rice-pit it and a bit of water into a saucepan and heat up! I’m not into salmon but I always have the tuna pouches in my fridge. I will prob try this recipe using tuna instead. I love those ind pouches–so much easier then cans!
It would work with tuna too. My grandmother used to mix tuna into eggs with soy sauce too.
I love quick and easy meals like this that are also hearty. What a great one for my son!
Thanks. This is a great meal of guys. My hubby actually wanted me to buy more salmon packets for quick meals for himself.
Sounds great! I love quick and easy meals like this
OH MY GOODNESS THIS LOOKS YUMMY!! Thank you for sharing with us at #MMBH.
Pinning this for sure. 🙂
xoxo
I like the use of nori on your dish. Great way to use bold flavor without a lot of salt. Never thought of putting eggs with salmon
It’s really delicious and the nori adds a nice flavor too. Kind of like a deconstructed sushi.
I love a simple and tasty recipe like this. I never thought of using packaged salmon. I really think this dish would be one my family would enjoy.
I love how quick this is! I’m trying to stay low carb so I’d probably swap the rice for zoodles or mixed baby greens but I’m excited to try the flavored salmon
I have been looking for a different way to enjoy my eggs. This would make a great breakfast full of flavor adn protein.
What a great way to use those minute rice cups! Those cups would be great for my husband’s lunch. I think he would like your combo of flavors as well. Great recipe!
I have all of this stuff at home. I know what I will be making for lunch. Thanks 🙂
Yum! I love fish and rice together. This would be an awesome lunch or dinner.
