Crispy Rice and Salmon 🍣❤️ Truuust me, these will be a crowd pleaser! But also, if you me, you know that know that I am obsessed with crispy rice. It is obviously inspired by Nobu. Their tuna crispy rice is my go to order. One of my favorite things about it is that it is so versatile, you can pretty much top it with your favorite fish or proteins and play around with different toppings. This one is one of my favorite ones to date.
