    recipe for cooked salmon poke bowls with marinated salmon and vibrant raw vegetables this Recipe!

    This cooked salmon poke bowl recipe is a fast and easy week night recipe option for those who love poke, but can't eat raw fish. These bowls are VERY customizable. Feel free to sub out tofu or chicken for the salmon. You could also subsitute cauliflower rice instead of white rice if you would like a low-carb version. The contrast between the crunchy raw veggies and the soft salmon and rice is so addictive. I like to eat my poke at room temperature, so I let my cooked salmon cool a bit before eating, but you do you!

    What is a poke bowl?

    Poke bowls are a delicious Hawaiian dish that usually have marinated raw sushi grade tuna or salmon over rice and garnished with an assortment of raw vegetables. Since I don't have access to sushi grade fish, I just cook my salmon instead!

    What do you put in a Cooked Salmon Poke Bowl?

    For this cooked salmon poke bowl recipe I used slice avocado, carrots, cucumbers, cilantro, red bell pepper and lime. You could also add pickled red onion or cabbage, edamame, green onion, radishes, or any vegetable you have on hand.

    Taking a bite of Cooked Salmon Poke Bowl

    How do you make this cooked poke bowl recipe?

    • Combine all of the marinade ingredients (soy sauce, broth, honey, rice wine vinegar, garlic powder, and ginger powder). Measure out 1/3 cup and set aside to use for the sauce.
    • Pour the remaining marinade over the salmon, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (This step can be done the night before).
    • While the salmon marinates, prepare the rice. Bring the 2 cups of broth to a boil in a medium pot. Pour the salt, olive oil, and dry rice into the boiling broth, stir once or twice, cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to low. Let the rice simmer for 30-40 minutes.
    • Heat a large skillet over medium high. Carefully add the salmon fillets, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side (depending on how well done you like your salmon and how thick it is!).
    • Serve the bowls with a hefty amount of rice and salmon. Then top the bowls with the raw vegetables, reserved sauce, lime, avocado, and cilantro!

      Sorry! I left that part out, but I fixed it : Heat a large skillet over medium high. Carefully add the salmon fillets, and cook for 10-15 minutes on each side (depending on how well done you like your salmon!).

      Wow! Loved this! My family said it was a hit! I made exactly according to recipe. Today I?m making this again, but using chicken instead. And in the marinade/sauce, I crushed 4 garlics instead of the powder. I posted a picture of the salmon one I made on Instagram but couldn?t find you to tag in it. If you see it, feel free to tag yourself πŸ™‚ my insta is ruutti2
      I?ll post the chicken one tonight after prepping it.

      Sorry to not get to you sooner. The recipe states (Depending on how well done you like it!), but I did take off 15 minutes because that's probably excessive. If you like yours less done, remove it earlier.

      Tastes great! However, it?s Important to marinate the Salomon really 20min. in order to give in enough taste.
      I cooked it together with my 16year old niece and we had a funny time cooking πŸ™‚

      <Made this today for a girls luncheon and the salmon was delicious.
      Made it with sushi rice, flavoured with rice wine vinegar, sugar,salt and a little chopped up Nori, Served with Avacado, edamame beans, radishes, cucumber, pickled ginger and a little seaweed salad from Sushi shop.
      Great dish, especially when a guest does not eat raw fish. Will be making again, thank you for the recipe

      Recipe was delicious! Steelhead trout substitute for salmon ( have a problem getting good grade quality fish too) but it worked.
