I love a good poke bowl. In fact, they’re one of my family’s favorite things to eat. But when the kids refuse to eat raw fish, I can’t credibly call it an actual poke bowl. This Salmon Rice Bowl with Avocado & Spicy Mayo captures the delights, flavors and textures of traditional poke with some slight twists that everyone can enjoy. They’re also naturally gluten free, as long as you choose gluten free soy sauce.
