Tips & Variations
- Always use sushi-grade salmon from a reputable fishmonger for safe raw consumption.
- Let the rice cool to room temperature before assembling - hot rice will warm the salmon.
- Prep all your toppings before starting for quick, easy assembly.
- Add a drizzle of sriracha mayo for extra creaminess and heat.
- Use frozen edamame beans - just defrost and shell them for convenience.
FAQs
- Can I use cooked salmon instead of raw?
- Yes! Grill or pan-fry salmon fillets with teriyaki glaze instead. It's just as delicious and perfect if you prefer cooked fish.
- How long does leftover poke bowl keep?
- The rice and vegetables keep for 1-2 days in the fridge. However, raw salmon should be eaten fresh on the same day. Store components separately for best results.
- Where do I buy sushi-grade salmon?
- Look for 'sushi-grade' or 'sashimi-grade' salmon at quality fishmongers, Japanese supermarkets, or the fresh fish counter at upscale supermarkets. Ask your fishmonger if it's safe for raw consumption.
- Can I make this bowl vegetarian?
- Absolutely! Replace salmon with marinated tofu, more edamame, or tempura vegetables. The bowl works brilliantly as a veggie option.
