This is Brandon Scawthorn, a 10 year old kid from Texas. You may be wondering why Brandon is being featured in a celebrity chef blog. Well this kid competed against 7 other kids in a competition called Rachael vs Guy Kids Cookoff. The winner of this competition would get their own web series on the Food Network website. Watching these kids compete was unbelievable, as the kids were just as knowledgeable as some culinary students that have spent years trying to learn everything. Brandon won this competition, earning himself a web series which he titled 'Cooking in the Fast Lane with Brandon'. the reason for the name is because he also drives racecars at just 10 years old, hence the fast lane mention in the title. He also makes his meals on his show in less than 20 minutes. From prep time to plating, he only has 20 minutes. It is a great web series hosted by a very bright young kid.
Today, Brandon is going to show us how to use your leftover rice from dinner last night and create another meal out of it. He will show us how to make some Baked Salmon over Fried Rice. Enjoy.
Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 2 salmon filets (about 3 ounces each)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups cooked long-grain rice
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 eggs
- 3 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Season the salmon with salt and pepper and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Bake the salmon in the oven until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and keep warm.
Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add about 1/2 tablespoon of the butter and crack the eggs into the pan, stirring with a metal spatula to scramble and chop them finely. Remove the eggs from the pan.
Add 1 tablespoon of the remaining butter to the same pan and saute the onion and carrot until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the cooked rice. Stir well, mixing the vegetables and rice together. Fry for a few minutes, mixing constantly with the spatula. Add the eggs and mix well. Add the soy sauce and keep stirring. Turn off the heat.
Transfer the fried rice to a plate, top with the salmon, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
