Notes
Mix Until Smooth: I like to mix the salmon, imitation crabmeat, and cream base thoroughly so the texture stays even throughout.
Let the Salmon Cool: Let the salmon cool before mixing, because I find it keeps the filling thick and prevents it from becoming too soft.
Press the Rice Base: I gently press the rice into the dish so it holds together better when sliced and served.
Reheat Gently: Reheat leftovers in the oven instead of the microwave, as I find the texture stays closer to freshly baked.
