Dried fruits and almonds give the rice pilaf a lovely sweetness and crunch, making it the perfect side dish for stuffed salmon that is easy to make! Dried apricots, raisins, and cranberries all work well in this recipe, so feel free to use whatever you have on hand.
Just remember to soak the dried fruit in hot water for about 10 minutes before adding it to the rice. This will help plump them up and prevent them from drying out the dish.
As for the almonds, I like to toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat until they’re golden brown. This brings out their flavor and gives them a nice crunch.
