# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- It comes together in under 30 minutes but tastes like something from a fancy restaurant
- Everyone can build their bowl exactly how they like it, so no more picking tomatoes off plates
02 -
- Sushi grade does not just mean fresh, it means the fish has been handled and frozen specifically to kill parasites, so please do not grab just any salmon fillet from the regular section
- The rice needs to be slightly warm when you assemble the bowls, cold rice will make everything taste bland and sad
03 -
- Invest in a truly sharp knife for slicing the salmon, clean cuts make such a difference in texture and appearance
- Keep your salmon ice cold while prepping everything else, firm fish is infinitely easier to cut into perfect cubes
