My approach to the recipe was to keep it simple and refreshing. It has strong Japanese influences, which is why the traditional marinade is made from ingredients such as soy sauce and rice vinegar. A main dish of native Hawaiian cuisine, poke is basically diced raw fish, traditionally tuna, salmon, or octopus, marinated in Asian seasonings. Mmm… There’s really only one dish I crave when I’m hankering for a delicious combination of contrasting textures and vibrant colors and flavors that take me to the beach. The dish is quick enough to make for a weekday dinner and fancy enough to serve at your weekend dinner party.
The recipe uses an extra aromatic sauce that has the right balance of savory, sour, sweet, and spicy. The salmon poke bowl is a perfect one-bowl meal that’s easy to make and packed with nutrition.
