Recipes SALMON POKE BOWLS
SALMON POKE BOWLS
The saying "eating with your eyes" certainly captures a moment of genius, and surely was created by a foodie? It really defines the essence of good food in one foul swoop and draws attention to the aesthetic importance of creating an exciting dish. Best of all is that it doesn't take genius to make it a reality in your own kitchen - it just requires choice and a mediocre level of skill in the plating up. Step 1: ensure a variety of colour in your ingredients. Step 2: take some care in plating up.
Not only does this dish tick the rainbow box, it ticks the nutritious, wholesome goodness, and fragrant flavour ones too.
- WHAT YOU WILL NEED -
- 1 tsp garlic, finely grated
- Sesame seeds
- Pickled ginger
- 1 sheet nori, finely sliced
- ½ cup avocado, cubed
- ¼ cup spring onion, sliced
- ½ cup tomato, cubed
- ½ cup cucumber, cubed
- 1 shallot, finely diced
- 2 tsp THAI 7-SPICE
- 400g salmon (sushi grade), cubed
- 250g sushi rice
- 1 tsp ginger, finely grated
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp mirin
- 2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 4 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp NEW CERAMIC SEA SALT GRINDER
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 3 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 330ml water
- METHOD -
Rinse the sushi rice well until water runs clear. Add to a pot containing 330ml water. Bring to a boil then simmer for 10 minutes with the lid on. Turn off the heat and continue to steam (with the lid remaining on) for a further 20 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, mix the sushi seasoning ingredients together and allow the sugar and salt to dissolve. Once the rice is cooked, season with the sushi vinegar mix and set aside.
Mix all the soy dressing ingredients together. In a large bowl, add the cubed salmon and season with the Cape Herb & Spice Thai 7 Spice Exotics blend. Add the shallots, cucumber, tomato and spring onion before drizzling over half of the soy dressing and mixing well.
Dish the rice into two bowls and top with the salmon mix, avocado, nori, and a sprinkling of sesame seeds and little nest of pickled ginger.
