Baked Salmon and Capellini Bento

Posted on May 27, 2010 by Debra

Super easy and quick bento assembly using store bought baked salmon and leftover pasta!

I stopped by the deli and this luscious baked salmon caught my eye so I decided right then and there that I really didn’t have time to cook!

Tossed in some leftover capellini (shoyu, sesame oil, cilantro) salad, added steamed asparagus …and we “got bento”!

Oh wait,  I did take the time to separate the flavors by using a lettuce leaf as baran.

And to prevent a totally utilitarian look —I garnished with sliced grape tomatoes, yellow carrots and salted black olives. 

Oh yes… pre-cut nori (bento-stash :) ) too!

    what a lovely quick one! that salmon *does* look moist and “luscious,” and you’ve complemented it perfectly with a little salty, a little crispy, a little juicy, and a little starchy! yum!

      Hi megan, It was “relief” that I got through this one so quickly. Thanks!

  2. Andrea says:

    That looks so fresh and delicious!

    Agree! You made the right decision not to cook. You gotta pay attention to the signs :) Yellow carrots are my current bright color fave; looks totally delish!

    • Debra says:

      Thank you sheri! Yellow carrots are fun to work with and I agree, they do add a bit “sunshine” to the bento.

    I wish I could find yellow carrots here, they look so good!

    • Debra says:

      Hi Pikko, they taste the same as regular old carrots, but somehow that yellow color is a boost. Maybe you could try growing your own yellow carrots! How cool would that me?

  5. It looks delish, some days the nice and easy dishes are the best :)
