1

Pour water into a saucepan; add the rice and bring it to a boil. Cover, lower the heat to low, and simmer until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
2

Meanwhile, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Stir in the eggs and cook until scrambled to your desired consistency. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and heat over medium heat. Stir in the onion and green onion; cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the salmon, rice, peas, and scrambled eggs; toss until evenly combined. Cook and stir the rice mixture until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
