Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Teriyaki Salmon Bowl keep in the fridge?

Keeps well in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat gently — add a splash of water or broth if the sauce thickens.

Can I substitute a different type of fish?

Yes — any firm-fleshed fish works. For flaky white fish recipes, try cod, halibut, or mahi-mahi. For salmon recipes, try arctic char or steelhead trout.

How do I know when it's done?

Use a meat thermometer for proteins: chicken 74°C (165°F), beef medium 60°C (140°F). For baked dishes, look for golden brown on top and bubbling around the edges.
