Frequently asked questions about recipes

Can it be prepared in advance?

Yes. The salmon and rice can be cooked in advance and cooled and the whole bowl can be served chilled. The sauce can be prepared in advance. They will all keep for 3-4 days in the fridge.

Is it possible to bake the salmon instead of burning it?

Yes. A good idea if you want to double or triple the recipe! See recipe notes.

Substitute crispy tofu or crunchy spiced chickpeas!

Is it authentic?

No. As far as I know, the salmon does not live in the warm waters of the Mediterranean.
