Preparation
At home or in town: Write “Blueberry Salmon Rice” with a permanent marker on a quart freezer bag. Measure out and pack the dry ingredients in the bag. Tuck the salmon pouch with the freezer bag. At camp or on the trail: Add 1-1/2 cups near boiling water and the salmon to the freezer bag. Stir well, seal tightly and put in a cozy for 10 minutes. Fluff the rice and eat.
Test Kitchen
Post Pacific Crest Trail follow up: Blueberry Salmon Rice is quite tasty. Team No Hurries agreed we would eat it again. We found instant rice in every store we visited. Many of the other ingredients are not readily available in all trail towns. Often you can’t get dried blueberries, chopped pecans, and salmon in a pouch. More often you can get tuna in a pouch. You can get the spices most of the time. But what do you do with the extra? And spices are expensive. So is the salmon. A possible solution is to keep a spice kit in a bounce box, use the spices as needed, and replenish as needed. And substitute tuna for the salmon.
