Ingredients
Salmon and Dressing
- 1 lb (450g) sushi-grade salmon, cubed
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- Green onions for garnish
Vegetables and Base
- 2 cups cooked sushi rice
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 cup edamame (cooked and shelled)
- 1 carrot, shredded
Instructions
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar until well combined to create a flavorful dressing.
- Marinate the Salmon: Toss the cubed sushi-grade salmon with half of the prepared soy-sesame dressing, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it marinate briefly to absorb the flavors.
- Prepare the Bowl Base: Divide the cooked sushi rice evenly among four serving bowls, forming the base of the poke bowls.
- Arrange the Toppings: Artfully arrange the marinated salmon cubes, sliced avocado, sliced cucumber, cooked edamame, and shredded carrot over the rice in each bowl for a vibrant presentation.
- Add Remaining Dressing: Drizzle the remaining half of the soy-sesame dressing over the assembled bowls to enhance the flavor balance.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top for texture and freshness, then serve immediately to enjoy the poke bowl at its best.
Notes
- Use only sushi-grade salmon to ensure safety and the best raw fish quality.
- For added flavor and variety, include mango chunks, seaweed salad, or thinly sliced radishes as additional toppings.
- If edamame is frozen, thaw and cook according to package instructions before using.
- Sushi rice should be cooked and cooled to room temperature prior to assembling the bowls.
