Notes

  • Add sriracha mayo or chili flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Swap rice with quinoa or cauliflower rice for variation.
  • Top with pineapple or mango for a tropical twist.
  • Substitute salmon with tofu for a vegetarian option.
  • Store components separately in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat salmon and rice before serving.
