Notes

    • Salmon: There are SO many kinds of salmon out there. Wild caught salmon has the richest flavor…it is also always more expensive. Farmed salmon is usually more available and affordable, and that is what we usually use. One way or the other, you are looking for boneless salmon filets.

    • Rice: We like brown rice for this recipe, but you can use any rice you like. Cook it ahead of time so you are all ready to rock when it’s time to assemble your bowls. Recently we have been loving the Ben’s pre-cooked brown rice that you just heat up in the microwave. It’s plain cooked brown rice with a little canola oil, and it tastes good!

    • Rice Vinegar: Look for this mild vinegar in the international foods section of your supermarket. You can also swap in white wine vinegar if you prefer.

    • Rice Wine: This is also in the international aisle. You can substitute sherry if you prefer.
