Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Remove the skin from the salmon fillets and cut into ½-inch cubes. Place the cubes in a single layer on a plate and freeze for 24 hours to ensure safety for raw consumption.
-
Step 2.
Thaw the frozen salmon cubes in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water until just thawed. Place the thawed cubes in a medium bowl.
-
Step 3.
In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup soy sauce, 2 to 3 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sriracha, 3 tablespoons sliced green onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds, 2 teaspoons furikake (if using), and 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger until well combined.
-
Step 4.
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the salmon cubes and gently fold with a spatula to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
-
Step 5.
While the poke chills, slice 2 ripe avocados and 2 Persian cucumbers into thin slices. Steam 4 cups of rice according to package directions.
-
Step 6.
To serve, divide the steamed rice among bowls. Top with the chilled poke, avocado slices, and cucumber slices.
