Notes
You can make the pineapple salsa ahead of time for quick lunches.
You can adjust the amount of rice, cheese and salmon you add if you’d like.
To make the quesadillas, we only use one of the portioned cups of rice in the Minute Ready to Serve Basmati Rice package, but we like to cook the other cup to serve alongside the dinner.
