Salmon Bite / Poke Bowl

 Salmon Bite / Poke Bowl 





I made this mashup between the viral TikTok salmon bowl and salmon bites; threw some extra fresh raw tuna :)   Jimmy isn't a huge fan of raw salmon so I used my air fryer to crisp up tender little bites. 

For 2 generous servings

1 salmon filet, take off skin and cut into large bite size pieces

1 width-of-the-knife tuna steak, cut into large bite size pieces


white rice or cauliflower rice

rice vinegar

sugar / salt

edamame

scallions - slice thinly

carrots - shave / sliced thinly

fresh jalapeno - sliced thinly

Pickled red onions

1 hothouse cucumber - peeled and coarse dice

avocado - sliced

Kewpie / Japanese mayo

Siracha

Soy sauce

sesame seeds

fried onions


salmon marinade:

soy sauce

rice vinegar

sesame oil

honey

ginger and garlic powders




For the rice, reheat in bowl with ice cube on top, remove them after rewarmed.  Add splash of rice vinegar, about 1/2 tsp sugar and salt to taste.  If using cauliflower rice, prepare same way for flavor.


Put the bites of the salmon in the marinade for at least 30 minutes.  I spooned a small amount of the marinade onto the tuna.

Mix mayonnaise, siracha, and soy sauce until desired consistency and flavor to make the sauce for drizzling on top.

Cook salmon in air fryer around 300 degrees for 5 minutes, then turn pieces and cook other side until crispy, probably another 5-10 minutes.  Could do this step on stove or under broiler.  Toss salmon back into leftover marinade when done.

Scoop ingredients over rice in bowl.  Serve with general portion of fish.  Top with sesame seeds, fried onions, and drizzle the sauce on top.  Enjoy!
