Salmon With Chipotle Sesame Vinaigrette & Fried Basmati Rice With
Shellfish

Vinaigrette:

Combine the pepper, sesame seeds, fish sauce, vinegar, garlic,
ginger, lemon grass, cilantro, basil, mint, and lime juice in a
blender container.

Process until thoroughly mixed.

Fried Rice:

Heat the oil in a large skillet until it begins to smoke. Add the
rice and saute for 1 minute. Add the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and
brown sugar. Saute until the rice is dark brown, stirring
frequently.

Cook the egg in a small nonstick skillet until set, forming a thin
omelet. Slice into thin strips and add to the rice mixture. Add the
oysters, shrimp, scallops, crawfish, fish sauce, vinegar and green
onions.

Cook for 4 minutes or until the seafood is cooked through.

Salmon:

Season the salmon with salt. Heat the sesame oil in a nonstick
skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon. Cook for 4 minutes. Turn
and cook for 2 minutes longer.

To Assemble:

Spoon a mound of the rice in the center of each serving plate and top
with the salmon.

Drizzle the vinaigrette around the plate. Serve immediately.
