A quick and healthy poke bowl featuring sushi-grade salmon, creamy avocado, and a tangy marinade, perfect for a light lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces sushi-grade skinless salmon fillet, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked short-grain sushi rice or jasmine rice, warm
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1 stalk green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup diced cucumber (optional)
  • Optional garnishes: pickled ginger, thinly sliced radishes, nori strips

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup (190 g) sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions or in a rice cooker. Fluff with a fork and keep warm (about 20 minutes).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, and freshly grated ginger until well combined.
  3. Cut sushi-grade salmon into 1/2-inch cubes. Gently add salmon to marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Dice avocado into cubes similar in size to salmon. Thinly slice green onion and cucumber if using. Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until golden and fragrant.
  5. Divide warm rice between two bowls. Top each bowl with marinated salmon, diced avocado, cucumber, and green onion. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds generously over the top. Add optional garnishes if desired.
  6. Drizzle a little extra sesame oil or soy sauce if desired. Serve immediately for best texture and freshness.

Notes

Use sushi-grade salmon for safety and best texture. Marinate salmon only 10-15 minutes to avoid cooking it in the acid. Toast sesame seeds carefully to avoid burning. Serve immediately to prevent avocado browning. For gluten-free, substitute tamari for soy sauce. For vegan, replace salmon with marinated tofu or watermelon cubes.
