Salmon Poke Recipe
Description
The Salmon Poke Recipe revolves around sushi-grade salmon cut into bite-sized pieces and marinated in a mixture of toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, liquid aminos, grated ginger, and sriracha for heat. This combination imparts a balance of tangy, savory, mildly sweet, and spicy notes that infuse the salmon while preserving its fresh texture. Topped with green onions and sesame seeds, the poke has added crunch and aroma.
The texture is tender with a slight firmness from the raw fish, while the sauce delivers a layered flavor profile that brightens the salmon and lends a subtle kick. Because it features raw salmon, the dish requires quality, fresh sushi-grade fish and careful handling to ensure safety and the best taste.
Salmon poke is versatile and can be served on its own, over rice in a poke bowl, on top of greens as a salad, or as a protein-packed component in a sushi burger. The recipe allows for adjusting the sauce quantities to cater to personal taste preferences for heat and saltiness.
Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon sushi-grade
- 2 tsp ginger peeled and grated, fresh
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil to taste, toasted
- 2 tsp rice vinegar to taste
- 2 to 3 Tbsp liquid aminos to taste
- 1 to 3 tsp sriracha to taste
- 2 green onion finely chopped, stalks
- 2 tsp sesame seeds
- salt to taste, sea salt
Instructions
- Obtain sushi-grade salmon (packaging should specify "sushi grade" and it should be frozen upon purchase).
- Thaw sushi-grade salmon in your refrigerator until completely thawed. Place salmon on a clean cutting board on top of a clean counter top. Use a knife to remove the salmon skin.
- Chop the salmon into bite-sized pieces. I like chopping it into small pieces, but you can go for larger cubes if you'd like.
- Place salmon in a clean mixing bowl (or regular bowl).
- Stir together the ingredients for the sauce in a measuring cup or bowl and pour over the chopped salmon. Stir well until everything is combined. Taste the salmon for flavor and add more of anything you'd like!
- Enjoy in a poke bowl, sushi burger, and/or on top of a green salad.
