    Cooked Salmon "Poke" Bowl

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    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.

    This spicy salmon bowl 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.

    Looking for more seafood inspiration? Try Buttery Shrimp Scampi, Cajun Butter Shrimp, or Creamy Shrimp with Zoodles.

    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 spicy 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
    • sriracha
    • edamame
    • asparagus spears
    • bell pepper

    How do you season the salmon?

    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

    Assembling a spicy salmon bowl

    You can be as creative with your plating 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.

    Ingredients
      

    • Salmon sushi grade or cooked
    • ¼ cup soy sauce
    • 1 tbsp. rice wine vinegar
    • 1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
    • ½ english cucumber cut into matchsticks
    • 1 avocado sliced thinly
    • thinly sliced jalapeno
    • 2 cups cooked rice
    • sesame seeds
    • 2 green onions thinly sliced
    • sriracha to taste

    Instructions
     

    • Start by combining soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice wine vinegar and pouring over the salmon. Allow to marinade for 30 minutes.
    • Bake at 375 for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
    • Cook rice according to packaging instructions and fluff. Place in your bowl as a bed for the toppings
    • Slice all toppings to desired shapes and place on top of rice.

    Notes

    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.

      So amazing. My hubs was super happy as was I. Instead of Siracha sauce we drizzled a Japanese BBQ sauce. Soooo good. Thank you for this deeeee-lish recipe.
