Imagine your favorite sushi roll. Now imagine it deconstructed and served in a bowl: delicious rice topped with raw fish, avocado, scallion and sesame seeds. Well, that's one possible combination! Poke (POH-kay) is a healthy Hawaiian staple of marinated, chopped raw fish, often made with tuna. Build-your-own-poke-bowl spots are popping up all over the country, letting you pair your choice of fish with rice and as many toppings as a burrito bar. We're smitten with the hot-meets-cold and cooked-meets-raw dichotomy of the poke bowl, so we made our own version in Food Network Kitchen, opting for omega 3-packed salmon as the star. The dish is low in calories, high in protein and super-easy to make.

Absolutely delicious! I didn’t expect it be as good as I get at a restaurant but it was. My husband said this may be one his favorites & he’s not a salmon fan, we usually get tuna. There was no wild caught available, but the farm raised from Costco is high quality so I used it & I substituted coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Make this & you will not be disappointed if you are a sushi fan.
