Salmon poke bowl with rice, avocado, cucumber, edamame, carrots and sesame seeds

Poke, Hawaiian for "cut into pieces," is cubed raw fish tossed in a simple seasoning. Served over rice with crunchy vegetables, it makes a fresh, filling bowl in minutes.

Use only sushi- or sashimi-grade salmon from a trusted fish market and keep it cold until serving.

Instructions

  1. Season the salmon. Toss the salmon with the soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, ginger and green onions. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
  2. Build the bowls. Divide the rice between two bowls and arrange the avocado, cucumber, edamame and carrot around the edge.
  3. Top and serve. Spoon the salmon into the center, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve right away.
