Salmon & Tuna Poke Bowl
Marinated raw salmon and tuna in a light spicy-mayo dressing over sushi rice, with avocado, edamame, mango, beetroot, carrot and nori strips — a high-protein poke bowl.
Per serving, as written.
Raw salmon and tuna in a spicy-mayo marinade over sushi rice, loaded with avocado, edamame, mango, beetroot and carrot, with nori cut over the top. Use sushi-grade fish, keep everything cold since it’s served raw, and skip raw fish if you are pregnant, immunocompromised, very young or elderly — swap in cooked salmon instead.
The nori is a small thing doing real work. It is the only sea vegetable in the whole collection and about the only everyday source of iodine that isn’t iodised salt — and nori is specifically the one to reach for, because kombu carries roughly a hundred times the iodine per gram, which is far too much to be eating on a weeknight.
The two fish keep the protein high, so nothing else has to. That leaves plenty to play with: the rice carries most of the carbs, the avocado most of the fat, and the mango and beetroot add sugars that are easy to dial back — so a lighter bowl trims around the fish rather than through it.
Ingredients
For the bowl
- 150 g sushi-grade salmon, cubed
- 150 g sushi-grade tuna, cubed
- 300 g cooked sushi rice
For the marinade
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tbsp light mayonnaise
- 1/2 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
Add-ins
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 100 g shelled edamame
- 100 g mango, cubed
- 100 g cooked beetroot, cubed
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 2 spring onions, sliced
- 6 g nori sheets, cut into thin strips
Method
- Whisk the soy sauce, light mayonnaise, sriracha, sesame oil and rice vinegar into a marinade, then gently fold through the cubed salmon and tuna and let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Divide the warm sushi rice between two bowls.
- Arrange the marinated fish over the rice with the avocado, edamame, mango, beetroot and carrot.
- Spoon over any leftover marinade, scatter with the spring onions and nori, and serve straight away — cut the nori at the last moment, since it goes limp within a minute of meeting the wet rice.
