Notes
Storage: Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave. Make-Ahead: The cauliflower rice mixture can be cooked and stored separately for up to 2 days; assemble with freshly cooked salmon for best texture. Variations: Add diced jalapeños for extra heat or black beans for more fiber. For a dairy-free version, ensure no cheese is added. Serve with avocado slices or a dollop of Greek yogurt for creaminess.
