Tahini-tamari sauce
- 5 tbsp of hulled tahini

Instructions
- Cook rice as per packet instructions - Check out this easy guide on how to make perfect steamed rice. Let it sit for a few minutes after cooking if prefer room temperature rice instead of warm rice.
- Prepare the dressing - Add all the dressing ingredients to a glass jar with a lid. Close the lid tightly and shake well until fully combined. Alternatively, you can whisk the ingredients together in a bowl or glass.
- Marinate salmon - Place the salmon cubes in a bowl and toss with a generous amount of the dressing. If you like extra heat, add a bit more hot sauce at this stage and mix well
- Plate the poke bowl - In a serving bowl, add a base of rice and mixed salad leaves. Drizzle some of the dressing over and gently mix. Top with sliced green onions, cucumber slices, and diced avocado. Add the marinated salmon on top, then finish with a bit more dressing, fresh coriander and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Enjoy!
Notes
- Do not use all dressing! You should end up with about 1/2 jar left.
- A good quality salmon is a must for this dish! I always recommend buying fresh salmon at your local fishmonger if possible. Sushi-grade fish is the best choice, however, it can be quite pricey, so opt for the best option that suits your budget.
- Use other base - vermicelli noodles, brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice.
- Play around with your favorite ingredients - edamame beans, sweet onions (like purple onion or shallots), seaweed salad, beetroot, and thinly sliced carrots would be great additions.
- Add more toppings - like pickled ginger, roasted crushed nuts, wasabi peas, salmon roe, or red pepper flakes for extra heat!
