Notes

Cooking the fish: The exact cooking time for the salmon depends on its thickness, so keep an eye on it. Once it's no longer opaque in the middle it's done.
Get creative: Feel free to add other components to the dish. Roasted seaweed, bell pepper, avocado, radish, carrot, edamame beans - anything goes!
Prep ahead: If you cook the rice ahead and chop the veggies, you can assemble these salmon rice bowls fast. You could even prep and cook the salmon ahead if you don't mind it cold instead of warm.
