Steps
- Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Grate or process fresh cauliflower until it resembles rice grains, then lightly sauté it in a pan with a bit of oil until tender.
- While the cauliflower rice is cooking, slice fresh, sushi-grade salmon into bite-sized cubes and set them aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, sesame oil, and a dash of lime juice to create a marinade.
- Combine the salmon cubes with the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated, and let it sit for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Chop your choice of fresh vegetables, such as avocado, cucumber, and radishes, into thin slices or cubes.
- Assemble the bowl by layering the cooked cauliflower rice at the bottom, followed by the marinated salmon and prepared vegetables.
- Garnish the poke bowl with sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and nori strips for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately.
