I have tried in the past to make sushi at home, but I never seem to get it right. It doesn't stay together, or when I try to slice it, it all falls apart. I have decided to leave that to the professionals, BUT when I am craving sushi at home, this Cooked Salmon Poke Bowl Recipe is what I turn to! It has all of the flavors of a salmon sushi roll, in an easy to make bowl format. It has cooked salmon, so it is not technically poke, but it uses the same concepts! Below, I will show you how to make a simple poke bowl with salmon, avocado, rice, green onions, and cucumbers.

Does a poke bowl have raw fish?
Yes, it typically does! I used cooked salmon here, but if you are able to find raw sushi grade salmon from a reputable source, go for it! Some asian markets, well stocked grocery stores, even local sushi restaurants would be good places to check. Raw fish is absolutely lovely in this, and more traditional. Cooked salmon is what I had on hand, so that's what I used.
What ingredients do you need for a salmon poke bowl?
I like to think of my favorite sushi rolls and use those to inspire creativity when making a bowl. One of the best parts of poke bowls is the customization!
Some toppings include:
- fish of your choice
- cucumbers
- avocado
- jalapeno (I love the crunch they give!)
- rice
- sesame seeds
- green onions (I used Josie's Organics, of course!)
- sriracha
- edamame
- asparagus spears
- bell pepper
How do you season the fish?
I suggest a very light marinade. Poke bowls are known to be light and refreshing, and there are already lots of toppings like jalapenos, sesame seeds, and green onions to add flavor. For two pieces of salmon:
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp. rice wine vinegar
- 1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
Now comes the fun part... Assembling your cooked salmon poke bowl.
You can be as creative as you want, or just toss everything on a bed of rice.
These bowls work great for meal prep. If you do that, I would suggest doing them without fish or with cooked salmon. The raw poke should be eaten day of.

Delicious Cooked Salmon Poke bowls take all of the features of a traditional poke bowl with cooked salmon instead of raw sushi grade fish. Add toppings like cucumbers, jalapenos, and green onions for a fresh crunch!

- ½ english cucumber, cut into matchsticks
- 1 avocado, sliced thinly
- thinly sliced jalapeno
- 2 cups, cooked rice

Instructions

If you are using sushi grade raw salmon, still use the marinade! Cut up the pieces into bite size chunks first and then marinate for 30 minutes. Skip the cooking and place right on your rice.
