Not a fan of quinoa? Use white or brown rice instead.
You can also use raw salmon, cooked shrimp and/or cooked crab.
You can also stir your fish in a spicy mayonnaise. Just combine mayo with your favorite hot sauce, like sriracha.
TO STORE: Because you are using and consuming fresh raw fish, saving leftovers can be tricky. Everything but the fish should keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Storing the leftover fish will depend on HOW FRESH the fish is. Fish can go bad very quickly and needs to be store in the coldest part of the refrigerator.
You can also freeze cooked quinoa. The fish can also be frozen, but it is not recommended to eat it raw once thawed.
