Crispy Rice Baked Salmon Salad

Crispy Rice Baked Salmon Salad

This crispy rice salmon salad has been quietly taking over lunch tables everywhere, and once you make it you will see why. The rice goes into the oven until it is golden and crunchy, the salmon is seasoned and baked until it just starts to caramelise at the edges, and it all comes together with a fresh cucumber and avocado salad and a drizzle of spicy mayo. The Natvia Natural Brown Sweetener in the salmon marinade gives it that subtle sweet depth that makes the whole bowl work. It is the kind of recipe that goes on permanent rotation.
