About this recipe
The Teriyaki Salmon Poke Bowl draws inspiration from traditional Hawaiian poke bowls while incorporating classic Japanese teriyaki flavours. Combining fresh ingredients with a simple yet tasty teriyaki glaze provides a balanced meal that's both hearty and refreshing. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual gathering, showcasing the best elements of both cuisines.
Method
-
Step 1: Prepare the Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Add the rinsed rice and water to a rice cooker. Cook according to rice cooker instructions, or bring to a boil in a pot, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes. Once done, let it sit covered for another 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
Do not lift the lid while the rice is cooking; it will disrupt the steaming process. -
Step 2: Make the Teriyaki Sauce
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and sesame oil until well combined. This will be your teriyaki glaze.
-
Step 3: Marinate the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the teriyaki glaze over them. Let them marinate for at least 5 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
-
Step 4: Cook the Salmon
Heat a frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated salmon, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the salmon is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 63°C. Brush with additional teriyaki glaze while cooking for extra flavour.
Do not overcook the salmon; it should be firm to the touch but still juicy inside. -
Step 5: Prepare the Vegetables
While the salmon is cooking, slice the cucumber, carrot, avocado, and radishes. Arrange the sliced vegetables neatly on a plate or directly in the serving bowls.
-
Step 6: Assemble the Poke Bowls
In each serving bowl, place a generous scoop of sushi rice as the base. Top with cooked salmon fillet and arrange the sliced vegetables around it. Drizzle any remaining teriyaki glaze over the top.
Tips
- For a vegetarian option, substitute salmon with grilled marinated tofu.
- Add seaweed salad on the side for extra umami flavor.
- You can prepare the teriyaki sauce ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to a week.
- Experiment with different vegetables like edamame or bell peppers based on seasonal availability.
