Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g sashimi-grade fresh salmon
  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 cucumber
  • 2 green onions

Marinade & Sauces

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

Toppings & Garnishes

  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • Optional: pickled ginger for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice: Cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, fluff it with a fork and season lightly with rice vinegar to add a subtle tang typical of sushi rice.
  2. Marinate the Salmon: Cut the sashimi-grade salmon into bite-sized cubes. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Gently toss the salmon in this marinade and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to absorb flavors without over-marination.
  3. Prep Your Veggies and Toppings: While the salmon marinates, slice the avocado, cucumber, and green onions. Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for 2 minutes or until golden and fragrant. Set all aside for assembly.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: Place a generous scoop of sushi rice as the base in serving bowls. Neatly arrange the marinated salmon, avocado slices, cucumber ribbons, and chopped green onions on top. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and optionally add pickled ginger on the side.
  5. Final Touches: Drizzle additional soy sauce or your favorite poke sauce over the bowl if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and vibrant flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality sashimi-grade salmon for safety and taste.
  • Do not marinate salmon for more than 15 minutes to prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Rinse sushi rice before cooking to remove extra starch and achieve perfect sticky but fluffy texture.
  • Adjust the marinade seasoning to balance acidity and saltiness before combining with salmon.
  • Keep ingredients cold until assembly to maintain freshness, especially for fish and veggies.
