I baked this salmon rice cake for my dog Luna’s birthday last weekend. The salmon flaked into the rice, and she ate the first piece before I could take a photo.

I store the cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days since fish spoils quickly. Luna gets a small slice as a treat, and the cake usually lasts us two days.
