Salmon Poke Bowls
Description
This recipe starts by whisking together a marinade of minced garlic, grated ginger, mirin, soy sauce, lemon juice, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, and scallion whites. Salmon cut into bite-sized cubes is combined with this dressing and left to marinate for up to one hour to absorb the flavors. Meanwhile, white rice is cooked separately as the base.
The poke bowls are assembled by placing rice in bowls and topping with marinated salmon alongside thinly sliced cucumber, radishes, avocado slices, seaweed salad, diced mango, and pickled ginger. A drizzle of spicy aioli or more of the poke marinade and a sprinkle of sesame seeds finish the dish, which balances richness, acidity, and freshness.
This dish is ideal for a light lunch or dinner with components that highlight different textures and flavors—creamy avocado, crunchy vegetables, sweet mango, and the tender marinated salmon. Preparation steps ensure the fish remains safe to eat and flavorful.
Exercise caution when consuming raw fish; use sushi-grade salmon from reputable sources to reduce risk. Proper refrigeration and short marination prevent spoilage.
