Salmon Poke Bowls

Serves 2

Ingredients:

For the Salmon

• 8-10 oz sushi grade salmon, cut into 1/2 inch cubes

• 2 Tbsp soy sauce

• 1 Tbsp sesame oil

• 1 tsp rice vinegar

• 1 tsp fresh grated ginger

• 1/2 clove garlic, minced

• Pinch of red pepper flakes

For the Bowl (optional)

• 2 cups cooked sushi rice or brown rice, cooled

• 1/2 cup edamame, shelled

• 1/2 cup shredded carrots

• 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage

• 1/2 cup cucumber, thinly sliced or diced

• 1/2 avocado, sliced

• 1/4 cup scallions, chopped

• 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds

• 1/4 cup pickled ginger

• 1/4 cup crispy fried onions

Directions:

1. Prepare the marinade by mixing together all of the salmon ingredients in a bowl. Add the cubed salmon last and gently toss until completely coated. Cover and refrigerate 15-30 minutes.

2. While the salmon sits, divide the cooled rice between two bowls. Arrange your chosen ingredients as desired.

3. Drain any remaining liquid from your salmon after letting it sit. Top your bowls with salmon.

4. Optional, add sriracha, fresh lime juice, or spicy mayo on top of your bowl.

Suggested Modifications:

If you don’t like salmon, no problem! Swap that out for some tuna, cooked shrimp, or even cubes of steak. Steak would make this no longer a true poke, but if you are making it yourself, you can do whatever you want!
