A quick and easy fresh salmon poke bowl featuring creamy avocado, crunchy edamame, and a tangy dressing, perfect for a healthy and flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces sushi-grade fresh salmon, skinless and boneless
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and diced
  • ½ cup shelled and cooked edamame (about 75 grams)
  • 1 ½ cups cooked rice (short-grain sushi rice or jasmine rice, about 300 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Optional: pickled ginger, sliced cucumber, shredded nori

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 ½ cups sushi or jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions or in a rice cooker. Let it cool slightly (about 15-20 minutes).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon honey or agave. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity as desired.
  3. Using a sharp knife, cut the sushi-grade salmon into ½-inch cubes. Handle gently to avoid mashing the flesh.
  4. Toss salmon cubes in the marinade bowl and let sit for 10-15 minutes in the fridge to infuse flavor.
  5. While salmon marinates, cook and shell edamame if not pre-prepped (about 5-7 minutes boiling). Dice avocado carefully, slice green onions thinly, and toast sesame seeds in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  6. Fluff the rice with a fork and divide between bowls. Arrange marinated salmon, diced avocado, cooked edamame, and green onions over the rice. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top.
  7. Add optional garnishes such as pickled ginger, sliced cucumber, or shredded nori for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

Do not over-marinate the salmon to avoid it becoming soggy; 10-15 minutes is ideal. Use fresh or properly thawed salmon for best texture. Keep avocado diced with a little lemon or lime juice to prevent browning. Serve the bowl fresh or slightly chilled. Store components separately if saving leftovers and avoid reheating salmon.
