These salmon bites are so easy and simple to put together. They make for a perfect lunch or a fun snack! I found this new lunch box which made for the perfect vessel to hold these salmon bites for on the go. For this recipe I used my favorite 90 second sticky rice I find at Costco, but I've added the ingredients to make your own rice if you can.
