This version of stir-fried rice is a fine use for leftover salmon. You can make preparation even simpler by cooking the rice and salmon a day ahead. Just warm both in the microwave before completing the dish.
== Ingredients ==
* 4 cups water
* 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick) 
* 1 tablespoon butter
* 2 cups (1-inch) diagonally cut asparagus
* 3 cups hot cook long-grain rice
* 1 cup fresh or frozen peas, thawed
* 1/2 cup vegetable broth
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
* 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
== Directions ==
# Bring water to a boil in a large skillet; add salmon (skin side up).
