# How to Make It:

01 - Rinse sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a pot; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 10 minutes.
02 - Whisk together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved. Gently fold the seasoning mixture into the cooked rice. Set aside to cool slightly.
03 - Whisk soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, and sriracha in a medium bowl. Add diced salmon and toss gently to coat. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to marinate.
04 - Slice avocados, cucumbers, radishes, and green onions. Julienne the carrot. Ensure edamame is cooked and shelled. Set all toppings aside.
05 - Divide seasoned rice among four bowls. Arrange marinated salmon, avocado, cucumbers, edamame, carrot, radishes, and green onions on top of the rice.
06 - Drizzle remaining poke sauce over each bowl. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and add nori strips or pickled ginger if desired. Serve immediately while fresh.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The poke sauce transforms simple salmon into something restaurant-worthy in minutes
  • You can customize the toppings based on whatever looks fresh at the market
  • It comes together faster than delivery and tastes infinitely better
02 -
  • Buy your salmon the same day you plan to serve it. Raw fish is not something to mess around with.
  • Let the rice cool slightly before assembling or it will make your avocado sad and warm.
  • The sauce may seem strong on its own but it mellows perfectly when tossed with the salmon.
03 -
  • Chill your bowls in the freezer for 15 minutes before serving. Everything stays fresher longer.
  • Make extra sauce and keep it in the fridge. It is incredible on grilled fish or roasted vegetables.
