About this dish
Salmon poke bowl dices sashimi-grade salmon into 1.5-centimeter cubes and marinates them briefly in soy sauce and sesame oil for five minutes, then arranges the fish in sections over steamed rice alongside avocado, cucumber, edamame, and sliced green onion.

The short soy marinade draws moisture from the salmon's surface just enough to tamp down any fishiness while amplifying umami, and sesame oil adds a glossy sheen with a toasted fragrance. Avocado's creamy fat cushions the firm, springy bite of the raw fish, while edamame contributes a nutty bean flavor and cucumber brings a cool crunch. Using only sashimi-grade salmon is essential for safe raw consumption.

Instructions
Read the steps as a cooking flow: prep, heat, seasoning, doneness control, and finish.
- 1Season
Keep the 220 g sashimi-grade salmon chilled until just before preparation.
Pat the surface dry, then cut it into even 1.5 cm cubes so the marinade coats each piece evenly.
- 2Season
Mix 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce with 1 teaspoon sesame oil before adding the fish.
Fold in the salmon gently, using light motions so the cube edges stay neat and do not break down.
- 3Season
Rest the salmon for only 5 minutes while keeping it cold.
It is ready when the surface looks glossy and lightly tinted by the soy sauce, so do not overmarinate it.
- 4Prep
Cut the 100 g cucumber into bite-size pieces and slice the avocado carefully so it holds its shape.
Prepare 80 g edamame and 20 g green onion for quick assembly.
- 5Season
Divide the 2 cups cooked rice between bowls and let the steam settle for about 2 minutes.
If the rice is too hot, it can warm the salmon and soften its texture.
- 6Finish
Arrange the salmon, avocado, cucumber, and edamame in separate sections over the rice.
Spoon over any remaining sauce, scatter the green onion on top, and serve immediately while the bowl is cool and fresh.
