Tips

  • Use high-quality salmon for the best flavor and texture. Look for fresh or frozen salmon that is sustainably sourced.
  • If using frozen salmon, be sure to thaw it completely before using. Pat it dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
  • The dressing is key to the flavor of the poke bowl. Mix it well to ensure that all ingredients are well combined.
  • To enhance the flavor and texture of the poke bowl, add some crispy and crunchy toppings like sesame seeds, seaweed, or toasted nuts.
  • Serve the poke bowl immediately, as the ingredients tend to wilt and release excess moisture over time. To avoid this, prepare the ingredients just before serving.
