  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup cucumber, sliced

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon pieces dry and season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

  8. Garnish with chopped green onions and drizzle extra sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Do not overcook salmon to keep it tender and juicy.

  • Can bake or air-fry salmon for a lighter version.
  • Store components separately for best texture.
  • Add toppings like edamame, cabbage, or mango for variety.
