Ingredients
 

Salmon Marinade

For Serving

  • cooked sushi rice
  • 3 Persian cucumbers cut into small chunks
  • 1 cup diced mango
  • 1 cup shelled edamame
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • green onions optional
  • sesame seeds optional
  • spicy mayo optional
  • coconut aminos, low sodium tamari or soy sauce for drizzling on top

Instructions

  • Make instant pot sushi rice or cook according to the package directions
  • In the bottom of a large bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar (also called rice wine vinegar), grated fresh ginger, and sriracha then mix in the bite-size pieces of smoked salmon. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
  • Assemble the bowls starting with the warm rice on the bottom. Add the marinated salmon slices, cucumbers, mango, edamame, and avocado slices to the top of the rice.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and a drizzle of spicy mayo or kimchi mayo, and/or coconut aminos/soy sauce if desired.

Notes

Use cold smoked, not hot smoked (in a fillet). You want to buy one that isn't preseasoned with anything other than salt. You can get this at just about any local grocery store.

Make It Your Way: Substitutions & Variations

No smoked salmon? - you can also use fresh salmon and make my cooked salmon poke bowl or shrimp poke bowl.
No coconut aminos? - use reduced sodium tamari (to keep it gluten free) or soy sauce, but you may want to add a touch of honey or maple syrup since coconut aminos is a little sweeter.
No rice vinegar? - use fresh lime juice.
No cucumber? - use another crunchy vegetable such as shaved carrots, bell peppers, thinly sliced cabbage, snap peas, etc.
No mango? - you can also use pineapple or leave out the fruit completely.
Add-ins - red pepper flakes, seaweed salad, sushi ginger.
