Recipe Tips
To pack ahead and serve cold: Let rice and broccoli cool to room temperature after cooking. Assemble ingredients in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to eat.
If this recipe sounds good, but you’re not a fan of salmon, try it with cooked chicken or beef for an equally-delicious alternative.
For a little creaminess, try adding fresh diced avocado.
