Salmon today is furikake salmon. What is furikake salmon, you say?
Here's what I do: Get a nice filet of wild Alaskan salmon and squirt kewpie mayo and sprinkle our favorite nori fumi furikake on both sides. Pan fry till cooked through, flipping carefully halfway. That's it! Super yummy! I can practically guarantee your kids will love it. Also good traditionally with mahi mahi.
Since the fish is so flavorful I thought I could get away with packing a musubi (there's furikake in here too). I made a face with nori and radish, and topped with a crown pick. This little box still had room to pack some steamed peapods, broccoli and purple carrots (which I cut into flowers and skewered on a cute tulip pick). Fruit section has super juicy Cara Cara orange slices, strawberry and a grape. This box is a bit on the small side (450ml) compared to what I usually use, but I think I still managed to squeeze in enough to make him a substantial midday meal ^_^

Bentobird, he liked this one a lot too, but the musubi was too big! I'll have to restrain myself next time. Thanks a lot!
Thanks mils, I planted the purple carrot tops too, but can't tell if they came up purple. May have to start from seed, and I can't find them here. Good luck!
Hi Deanna G, thanks for stopping over! I have LOTS of bento boxes, and get them all over: Daiso, Ichiban Kan, Marukai, Korean groceries, Kinokuniya, Japantown, and of course online: ebay, From Japan With Love, Bento&Co, jlist, and many more. If you live near a Japantown, I would look there first. Good luck!
