Smoked Salmon Poke Bowl
This Smoked Salmon Poke Bowl has smoked salmon (no raw fish!), rice, fresh veggies, and a tangy coconut aminos-based sauce.
Servings 2
Ingredients
Sauce
- 4 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon hot honey
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
Poke Bowl
- 1 cup cooked sushi rice
- 6 ounces smoked salmon sliced
- ½ avocado diced
- ½ cucumber thinly sliced in half-moons
- 1 carrot cut into ribbons
- 2 green onions chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Cook rice according to package instructions. Divide the 1 cup cooked sushi rice between the two bowls. In a small bowl, whisk together the 4 tablespoons coconut aminos, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, 2 teaspoons rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon hot honey, and 1 teaspoon sriracha. Set aside.
- Arrange the 6 ounces smoked salmon, ½ avocado, ½ cucumber, 1 carrot, and 2 green onions on top of the rice.
- Drizzle with the prepared sauce and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and other toppings if desired.
Notes
Storage: Keep the assembled poke bowl in one airtight container, but store the sauce separately to prevent fogginess. When ready to eat, drizzle the sauce over the bowl and toss gently for best texture. Or for longer storage, keep all the ingredients completely separate and assemble when ready to serve.
Helpful Tips:
- Cool rice slightly. To prevent warming the smoked salmon and wilting the veggies, let the rice cool slightly before assembling. Spread it on tray or baking sheet to cool faster.
- Soak veggies in cold water. For extra crunch, soak cucumbers in ice water for 5 minutes, and to make carrot ribbons curlier, let them sit in cold water after slicing.
- Flavor the rice. This is optional but you can add a splash of rice vinegar and toasted sesame oil to the rice as soon as it's cooked to add extra flavor. I prefer to flavor it with the coconut aminos sauce but this is also an easy way to amp up the flavor.
- Make the sauce in advance. Let the sauce sit for 10-15 minutes before using to allow the flavors to meld.
