Small details, better dinner.
Practical notes for getting the texture right, adapting the ingredients, and saving what is left.
- Use canned salmon for a faster bowl.
- Fortified tofu and edamame make a plant forward variation; check labels because fortification varies.
Refrigerate salmon, rice, and cooked vegetables for up to 2 days. Store avocado and egg separately and reheat gently.
