Those brackets are not decoration — they are Foodakl's own read of this photograph, drawn where the app found each part of the plate.
Salmon onigiri
Also known as おにぎり · サーモンおにぎり · salmon rice ball · omusubi
Rice pressed into triangles around salted salmon, wrapped in nori that stays crisp until the first bite. Portable, plain, exactly right.

Reference figures for a dish as it is commonly cooked — never a measurement of your plate. The range is the honest part: two kitchens make this differently. In the app, a photograph replaces the guess.

Method
5 steps
boil · 20m walk awayRice rinsed until the water runs clear, then on with its lid and the lowest heat, and left alone with the lid on for ten minutes after the heat goes off.
grill · 9mSalmon salted and grilled or fried skin-side down until it flakes, cooked right through, then flaked with a fork and the skin and bones taken out. A dash of soy and the sliced spring onion through it.
rest · 8m walk awayRice turned over with a wet spatula and left uncovered a few minutes. Too hot to hold is too hot to shape.
fold · 12mHands wet, palms salted, a small handful of rice flattened, a teaspoon of salmon in the middle, rice closed over it and pressed into a triangle with about six turns. Firm enough to carry, no firmer.
finish · 3mNori cut into strips and wrapped round each one at the last possible moment — put on early it draws water out of the rice and goes to leather. Sesame over the top.
Worth knowing
Japan’s original packed lunch — samurai carried onigiri to war, and convenience stores now sell billions with engineering-grade wrappers.
