Golden, pan-fried nuggets of salmon replace raw fish in our easy take on a Hawaiian Poke bowl. This meal is an absolute staple in my kitchen (Anna here 👋), you can't go wrong with sticky sushi rice, fresh veggies (a great opportunity to throw in whatever's lying around in the fridge), juicy salmon and a zingy, umami dressing. Ready in 15 minutes and filled with goodness, it's just what I feel like after a long day. I love enjoying with crispy nori sheets and sriracha mayo, but if you can get your hands on some kewpie mayo or fresh sushi-grade salmon, it'll take your bowl to a whole new level.
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Cut the salmon fillets into 1 inch cubes. Set a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add a third of the sesame oil. Gently fry the cubed salmon until golden on all sides, about 5 minutes in total. Thoroughly wash your chopping board.
Step 2
Boil the kettle and add the edamame beans to a heat-proof bowl. Pour the boiling water over the edamame and leave to stand for 1 minute. Prep the other toppings by slicing or cubing the avocado (if using), cucumber and radishes.
Step 3
Combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar and remaining sesame oil in a small bowl to create the dressing.
Step 4
Cook your sushi rice as per the instructions on the packet.
Step 5
Add a spoonful of rice to each bowl, arranging the salmon and veggies on top. Drizzle over the dressing and finish with a scatter of sesame seeds, a packet of seaweed and some sriracha mayo (if using). Tuck in and enjoy!
