When it comes to eating poke bowls, I get all excited! Poke bowls are versatile; the ingredients can change and go with whatever you have at home or in season, and they are so delicious and filling. In this case, I’m showing you how I make my (Animal-Based) Salmon Rainbow Poke Bowl. The combination of mango, avocado, cucumber, and Salmon is my favorite! It is so fresh and relatively simple to make. Perfect for a summer recipe. 

Salmon Rainbow Poke Bowl (Animal-Based)

Ingredients:

Salmon:

• About 1.5 pounds of WILD skin-on salmon fillet
• 3 Tbsp butter
• 1 lemon, sliced into thin rounds
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 2 Tbsp honey
• 1 tsp kosher or sea salt, or to taste
• Optional*: 3-5 garlic, finely minced

Poke:

• 1 mango, riped
• 1 avocado, on point
• 1 lemon
• 1/2 cucumber
• 2 cups cooked white rice (I like basmati as it is naturally sticky)

Sauce:

• 1/4 cup coconut aminos
• 1/2 lemon juice
• Redmont salt
• Optional: cilantro*

*Non-Animal-Based

Salmon Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 375F. 
2. Evenly season salmon with salt.
3. Place Salmon on a sheet of foil with the skin side down. Raise the edges of the foil. 
4. Nestle lemon slices underneath the Salmon, spaced evenly around the fillet.
5. Add butter, honey, and lemon juice on top of the Salmon.
6. Seal up the foil (you will likely need to add another sheet on top to seal it).
7. Place foil pack on a baking sheet and bake for about 17 minutes.
8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, remove the piece of foil, or open up the packet so the Salmon is exposed but keep the edges raised to contain the buttery mixture.
9. Set oven to Hi broil.
10. Broil salmon for about 5 to 8 minutes or until the Salmon is as golden as desired.

Salmon Poke Bowl Preparation:

1. Cut the Salmon into thick pieces.
2. Cut the avocado, mango, and cucumbers into cubes.
3. Add rice to a bowl, followed by the rest of the ingredients.
4. Add sauce on top.
5. Optional* Garnish with cilantro.
