Move over, baked feta pasta and hot cocoa bombs . Theres a new viral TikTok recipe on the scene.

Lifestyle vlogger Emily Mariko s salmon rice bowl is the latest culinary sensation on the video-sharing app. The dish combines leftover salmon, leftover white rice, kimchi, Kewpie mayonnaise, Sriracha, soy sauce, avocado and dried seaweed.

Marikos TikTok post from Sept. 21 captioned Best lunch of the week! had nearly 50 million views as of Friday morning.

Countless users have shared their takes on the recipe with the hashtag #salmonricebowl , which had more than 23 million views. Additionally, Instacart reported that orders containing both salmon and dried seaweed doubled the usual number as of Sept. 29, one week after Mariko shared her recipe on TikTok.

Salmon and dried seaweed are not historically a common pairing on Instacart, so theres no question the recent growth of these two items is a direct result of this latest TikTok trend, Instacart trends expert Laurentia Romaniuk said.

While the ingredient combination makes for a delicious and relatively healthy meal, its the preparation that has people particularly intrigued specifically, the way Mariko reheats the rice.

The vlogger places the leftover white rice on top of the leftover salmon, adds an ice cube on top, and then covers everything with a piece of waxed paper before putting it in the microwave. When she removes the plate from the microwave, she tosses the still-formed ice cube and proceeds to add her recipes other ingredients.
