These delicious salmon sliders are a perfect way to use up leftover salmon. I had bought this Sea Cuisine Asian Grill Rubbed Salmon from Sprouts and had about 6 oz leftover and I wanted a fun way to eat leftovers and lo and behold this was the result!

I adapted this recipe from the blog Natashas Kitchen except it’s even easier because I’m using already marinated salmon I got from the store and baked according to the package instructions. Definitely check out her blog and try out this adaptation of a super quick and fun meal!
