Ingredients
- 250 g sushi-grade salmon diced
- 1 cup cooked sushi rice
- 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 avocado sliced
- ½ cucumber diced
- 2 green onions chopped
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- Optional: chili flakes mango, seaweed salad
Instructions
1. Prepare the Rice
- Start here. Always. Cook your rice until tender, then let it cool slightly — warm rice welcomes flavor, but steaming-hot rice will overpower the delicate salmon poke recipe.
2. Cut the Salmon
- Slice your fresh salmon into even cubes — not too big, not too tiny. A sharp knife makes all the difference, giving you clean edges instead of ragged pieces.
3. Mix the Marinade
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Stir gently — you’re building a base that enhances, not masks, the fish.
4. Combine Salmon and Sauce
- Add the salmon cubes into the marinade and toss lightly — no heavy mixing. Let it sit briefly, about 5–10 minutes,
5. Assemble the Bowl
- Start with rice, then place the marinated salmon on top. Add avocado, cucumber, and green onions — each layer adds contrast
6. Final Touch
- Sprinkle sesame seeds and, if you like, a pinch of chili flakes. A final drizzle of sesame oil seals the deal
