Description
A vibrant and healthy salmon poke bowl featuring succulent raw salmon marinated in a zesty sauce, over sushi rice with fresh vegetables and creamy avocado, all tied together with a refreshing dressing.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups sushi rice
3 cups water
1 1/2 cups cooked, flaked wild-caitlin salmon (sushi-grade)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon sugar
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce (gluten-free if needed)
1 teaspoon wasabi paste (optional)
1/4 cup sesame seeds (divided, 2 tbsp for topping and 2 tbsp for sauce)
1 cup edamame
1/2 cup cucumber, julienned or thinly sliced
1 medium avocado, sliced
1/4 cup pickled radish or daikon (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili flakes or Korean gochujang (optional, for spice)
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro or scallions, for garnish
Instructions
Rinse sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear.
Place rice and 3 cups water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until water is absorbed.
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sesame oil, 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, sea salt, and sugar to create seasoned rice vinegar. Fold into hot rice while still warm.
In a small bowl, marinate cooked salmon with soy sauce, wasabi paste, and 1 teaspoon sesame seeds. Let sit for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Divide seasoned sushi rice into serving bowls. Top each with marinated salmon, followed by avocado slices, julienned cucumber, edamame, and pickled radishes. Drizzle with a small amount of optional chili or gochujang for heat.
Sprinkle green onions and cilantro on top, and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure the salmon is sushi-grade for raw consumption.
For an oil-free option, skip the sesame oil while preparing the rice.
Prepare sushi rice and marinate salmon ahead of time to save time during serving.
Feel free to adjust vegetables based on preference or availability.
