My ‘Salmon Takikomigohan’ is very popular. But, on the other day, I found a bone in the dish even though I had checked Salmon fillets carefully. Many years ago, when my son was very young, he has got a fish bone stuck in his throat for three days, and it was a nightmare for us. If you concern about bones when you cook Salmon with Rice, especially for young children, Smoked Salmon might be a better option. To enjoy the flavour of Smoked Salmon, I didn’t add Soy Sauce to this dish!
