Ingredients
Scale
For the Poke Bowl:
- 1 cup sushi rice (or short-grain rice)
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1 pound fresh sushi-grade salmon (skin removed, diced)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- 1 avocado (sliced)
- 1 small cucumber (sliced)
- 1 carrot (shredded or julienned)
- 1 radish (sliced thinly)
- 1/4 cup edamame (shelled)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Chopped green onions (for garnish)
- Seaweed salad (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Cook the Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 10 minutes. After resting, fluff the rice with a fork and let it cool slightly.
- Prepare the Salmon Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and honey (if using). Add the diced salmon to the marinade and gently toss to coat. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Assemble the Poke Bowl: In serving bowls, place a scoop of the cooked sushi rice as the base. Top the rice with the marinated salmon, avocado slices, cucumber, shredded carrot, radish, and edamame. Garnish by sprinkling sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the top. Add seaweed salad on the side if desired.
- Serve: Serve the Salmon Poke Bowl immediately to enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors at their best.
Notes
- Use fresh sushi-grade salmon to ensure food safety and the best flavor.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with tamari.
- Honey is optional and can be omitted for a less sweet marinade.
- Feel free to customize toppings with other fresh veggies like radish sprouts or mango.
- Serve immediately after assembly to maintain freshness and texture.
