Serving and Storage Tips

How to Serve This Bowl

These bowls can be enjoyed solo, or pair them with some crispy spring rolls for an added crunch! You could also serve them with a side salad for some extra freshness.

Storing Leftovers

If you happen to have leftovers (lucky you!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll keep well for about 3-4 days. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could even turn these bowls into a lunch salad the next day!

Reheating Instructions

To reheat, pop the salmon and rice in the microwave for a minute or two until warmed through. I recommend reheating on low heat. You can always drizzle a bit of extra sriracha or soy sauce on top to freshen things up a bit.

Freezer Friendly?

Yes! You can freeze the salmon before cooking. Just remember to thaw it in the fridge before you use it! Once cooked, I wouldn’t recommend freezing as it can affect the texture of the fish.
