It's good to hear from yours and other recent reports that they are actually consistently catering the salmon now. I always avoided this dish because I didn't want to just end up with a bowl of veggies and grains. I will definitely order this in the future as a healthier option to most of what is currently available.
Personally, I'm glad they simplified it. Since they rebooted this item, it's now a cold salmon and grain salad instead of a grain bowl with an optional (and mileage-dependent) protein side... I'm sure it will disappoint some that there's no way to get it without the salmon ever touching it, but this is a lot easier for both catering and the FA's to manage. One iteration of the item to prep/load/board, and peel and serve.
