Smoked Salmon Poke Bowls

Smoked salmon poke bowls offer a delightful fusion of flavours and textures, originating from the traditional Hawaiian dish "poke" and incorporating the smoky goodness of salmon.

This refreshing and nutritious meal typically comprises a base of sushi rice or quinoa, topped with succulent smoked salmon, fresh vegetables like cucumber, avocado, and edamame, and a medley of vibrant toppings such as sesame seeds, seaweed flakes, and green onions.

The magic lies in the mouthwatering marinade, often featuring soy sauce, sesame oil, and a hint of citrus for that perfect balance of sweet and savory.

Easy to assemble and visually stunning, smoked salmon poke bowls make a deliciously healthy addition to any recipe repertoire.
