From the Test Kitchen

Our easy, crowd-pleasing recipe for fried rice is the perfect partner for seared salmon fillets, simply topped with a savory-sweet sauce of fresh orange juice and soy glaze for a bright boost of flavor. A garnish of sesame seeds is the perfect final touch, providing pleasantly crunchy texture and nutty flavor in each bite.
