Ingredients
  

For the salmon:
  • 1 lb sushi-grade salmon skin removed and diced into cubes
  • ¼ cup poke sauce recipe below, reserve remaining sauce to drizzle on bowl
For the rice:
  • 1 ½ cups long grain white rice rinsed
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 tsp oil
  • 1 tsp salt
For the sauce:
  • ½ tsp sesame oil

  • 1 garlic clove
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • 1 tsp sriracha more to taste
Toppings:

  • Edamame
  • Avocado
  • Shredded carrots

Method
 

  1. Make the Poke bowl Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, lime juice, and sriracha until smooth. Reserve ¼ cup for the marinade, and set the rest aside to serve.
    ½ tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp rice vinegar, ½ cup low sodium soy sauce, 1 garlic clove, Juice of ½ lime, 1 tsp sriracha
  2. Marinate the Salmon: Add the cubed salmon and gently toss to coat. Let it marinate while you prepare the other components.

  3. Prepare the Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water. In a medium pot, combine the rice, water, oil, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  4. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice evenly among four bowls. Top each with the marinated salmon, cucumber slices, edamame, avocado, and shredded carrots. Drizzle the spicy sauce over the top and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Always use sushi-grade salmon. When in doubt, ask your fishmonger specifically for sushi-grade or sashimi-grade fish.
  • Use warm rice, not hot. Piping hot rice will begin to cook the salmon when assembled.
  • Store components separately. The sauce keeps for up to 1 week in the fridge; rice up to 4 days. Marinate the salmon fresh the day you're serving, I don't recommend saving it for later.
