Red Cabbage Salmon Rice Bowls
Canned salmon makes these rice bowls easy to assemble, while red cabbage supplies the crunch. Choose them when you want a meal with separate textures rather than everything stirred into one pan. Cut the cabbage finely and keep the salmon flakes fairly large. Finish the rice according to its packet before bringing the bowls together.
