If, instead of cooked salmon, fresh slices of raw salmon are placed on top of white rice along with salmon roe, then the dish is called "sake ikura don" (salmon rice bowl with salmon roe) or "sake oyako don" ("oyako" meaning parent and child; the salmon being the "parent" and the roe being the "child").
鮭を煮ることなしに、刺身のまま白いご飯の上にのせ、イクラを添えた場合は「鮭いくら丼」「サケ親子丼」などと呼ばれる。
