Ingredients

(Based on 1x column, assumes 2-3 servings)

Poke Marinade & Salmon:

  • ▢ 1 lb SUSHI-GRADE salmon fillet, skin removed, cut into ~3/4 inch cubes (MUST be safe for raw consumption – see note above)
  • ▢ 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for GF)
  • ▢ 1 tsp sesame oil

Bowl Components:

  • ▢ 2 cups cooked sushi rice (or jasmine rice)
  • ▢ 1 cup shelled edamame (cooked/thawed)
  • ▢ 1/2 cup shredded carrots

Garnish (Optional):

  • ▢ Sesame seeds (toasted preferred)
  • ▢ Sliced green onions

Instructions

1. Prepare Rice and Vegetables (if needed):

  • Cook sushi rice according to package directions. If desired, season warm rice with a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Let cool slightly or to room temperature.
  • Cook or thaw edamame according to package directions. Shred carrots if not using pre-shredded. Prepare any other desired toppings.

2. Prepare and Marinate Salmon:

  • Ensure you are using sushi-grade salmon safe for raw consumption.
  • Pat the salmon fillet dry. Using a very sharp knife, cut the salmon into bite-sized cubes (around 3/4 inch).
  • Place the salmon cubes in a medium bowl.
  • Add the soy sauce and sesame oil. Toss gently to coat the salmon evenly. Let it marinate for just 5-10 minutes while you assemble the bowls (longer marinating isn’t necessary and can affect the texture of the raw fish).

3. Assemble the Poke Bowls:

  • Divide the cooked sushi rice evenly among your serving bowls.
  • Arrange the marinated salmon cubes over one section of the rice.
  • Add portions of the edamame and shredded carrots to the bowl, arranging them alongside the salmon.

4. Garnish and Serve:

  • Sprinkle the bowls generously with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if using.
  • Serve the Salmon Poke Bowls immediately.
