Perfect poke bowl with salmon, avocado and wakame

We're staying in bowl territory! Last week I already shared a recipe for the tasty healthy bowl I made, and now it's time for a poke bowl. Not sure what it is? Despite what the name might suggest, it has absolutely nothing to do with Pokémon. The poke bowl originally comes from Hawaii, where it's served with fresh fish and vegetables. It's very similar to sushi, but without the fuss of rolling.

A few weeks ago I ordered one of these amazing bowls from Poké Perfect, but this time I decided to make my own. The traditional bowl is made with sushi rice, but I put my own spin on it. The result? An incredibly tasty meal with lots of different flavours — filling but not heavy. Absolutely worth making!

Ingredients

  • 150 g rice (I always use brown rice)
  • 150 g green beans
  • 200 g smoked salmon
  • 1 avocado
  • 1/2 cucumber
  • 1 pack wakame (seaweed salad)

  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 3 spring onions
  • Optional: 1/4 red chilli

poke bowl with salmon, avocado and wakame

1. Cook the rice until done and let it cool down a little — you can also let it cool completely, whichever you prefer. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry frying pan until golden, and steam the green beans in a steamer basket for about 5 minutes. No steamer? Just boil them instead.

2. Meanwhile, cut the cucumber into cubes, slice the avocado and salmon into strips, cut the spring onions into rings, and finely chop the red chilli. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce with the olive oil and lemon juice. Spoon the rice onto the plates, then arrange the toppings in sections on top.

3. Finally, scatter over the sesame seeds, spring onions, chilli if using, and drizzle the soy sauce mixture on top. Enjoy!

This poke bowl is ideal when you want to put a healthy, nourishing meal on the table quickly. Brown rice gives the dish a hearty base, while the wakame and soy dressing add a wonderful umami flavour.

Feel free to mix up the toppings to your taste. Add some red chilli for a spicy kick, or swap the salmon for tuna or tofu for a different twist. Use a good sharp chopping board and a sturdy knife for the cleanest cuts.
