Ingredients
Scale
For the Salmon Poke:
- 1 lb sushi-grade salmon, cubed
- ¼ cup soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey or brown sugar (optional)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon grated ginger
Toppings and Optional Add-ons:
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 sheet roasted seaweed, torn into strips
- Cooked sushi rice or cauliflower rice (for base)
- Sriracha mayo (optional for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon: Ensure your salmon is sushi-grade. Rinse it gently under cold water, pat it dry, and cut it into ½-inch cubes.
- Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, and ginger. Adjust to taste if needed.
- Marinate the Salmon: Place the cubed salmon in a bowl. Pour the marinade over the salmon and toss gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes.
- Prepare the Base: While the salmon marinates, cook sushi rice according to package instructions or prepare cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
- Assemble the Bowl: Start with the rice as your base. Add marinated salmon, then layer on your toppings—avocado, cucumber, green onions, sesame seeds, and roasted seaweed. Drizzle with sriracha mayo if you like some spice.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately for the freshest flavor!
Notes
- Always use sushi-grade salmon for raw dishes.
- Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preferences—mango, radish, or edamame work great!
- For a gluten-free version, replace soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
