Ingredients for the Salmon Poke Bowl

  • 1 cup sushi-grade salmon diced into cubes
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1 cucumber thinly sliced or ribboned
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup edamame cooked
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 scallions thinly sliced
  • Optional: Spicy mayo pickled ginger, or seaweed salad for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Rice

  • Start by cooking your rice according to the package instructions. For the best results, rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch.

  • Once cooked, let it cool slightly and fluff it with a fork. If you like, you can season the rice with a splash of rice vinegar for added flavor.

Marinate the Salmon

  • Dice the sushi-grade salmon into bite-sized cubes. Aim for uniform pieces to ensure even marination.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, and finely grated ginger and garlic.
  • Add the salmon to the marinade, gently tossing to coat each piece. Cover and refrigerate for 10–15 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Prep the Toppings

  • While the salmon marinates, prepare your toppings:
  • Slice the avocado and cucumber into thin, even pieces.
  • Cook and cool the edamame if using frozen.
  • Thinly slice the scallions and any additional toppings like radishes or mango.
  • Arrange everything in small bowls for easy assembly.

Assemble the Bowl

  • Start with a generous scoop of rice as the base.
  • Layer the marinated salmon on top, followed by your choice of toppings. Be creative—there’s no wrong way to do this!
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds and add a drizzle of spicy mayo or extra marinade for added flavor.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve your poke bowl immediately for the freshest taste. Pair it with a side of miso soup or seaweed salad for a complete meal.
  • Don’t forget to grab a pair of chopsticks for the full experience!

Pro Tip:

  • If you’re making this dish ahead of time, keep the components separate until you’re ready to eat. This will ensure the rice stays fluffy, the toppings remain fresh, and the salmon retains its vibrant flavor.
  • With just a little prep, you’ve created a restaurant-quality Salmon Poke Bowl that’s as delicious as it is beautiful. Enjoy every bite!
