Note
Use high-quality ceremonial grade matcha powder for the best flavor and color in your tea.
If salted salmon is unavailable, you can substitute with fresh salmon fillets, pan-seared lightly with a pinch of sea salt and pepper.
For a richer flavor, add a drizzle of soy sauce or a small amount of sesame oil over the salmon before serving.
Leftover rice can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently before serving.
Matcha can be strong; adjust the amount of powder to suit your taste preference.
