Notes

Note: The nutrition information above does not include toppings. 
How long do leftovers last? 
Store all the ingredients in separate airtight containers in the fridge. They will stay fresh for 3-4 days. You can also freeze the salmon for up to 3 months!
Thaw it in the fridge overnight. Then, warm the salmon, rice, and greens in the microwave, and assemble the bowls when you’re ready to serve.
