Directions

Defrost the Salmon: Slowly defrost the New Zealand King Salmon in the refrigerator. Once defrosted, thoroughly dry it with paper towels.
Remove the Skin: Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the skin from the salmon, keeping the blade close to the skin to maximize yield.
Slice the Salmon: Cut the salmon into relatively thick slices, removing any thick connective tissue as you reach the center line of the fillet.
Cube the Salmon: After slicing, cube the salmon evenly to prepare it for the marinade.
Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine Tamari or Soy Sauce with freshly grated garlic and a splash of pickled ginger juice. Add the cubed salmon, then stir gently to coat all sides of our salmon before letting it marinate for a few minutes.
Prepare the Sushi Rice: While the salmon is marinating, cook the sushi rice according to package instructions and set aside.
Cube the Avocado: Cube a perfectly ripe avocado to add to the poke bowl.
Plate the Poke: Begin plating by adding a bed of sushi rice to the bowl, followed by the marinated salmon cubes and cubed avocado.
Garnish with any additional toppings you like: In this case, we garnished with Kimchee, which is a traditional Korean side dish consisting of salted and fermented vegetables, most often napa cabbage or Korean radish. Finnaly, we sprinkled Garlic crunch seasoning and sesame seeds.
Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your fresh Hawaiian salmon poke bowl!
