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.

What’s in these Salmon Rice Bowls

I love the variation in textures that these bowls offer. From the creamy, buttery avocado to the crunchy matchstick carrots, the sticky sushi rice and the crispy cucumbers, it’s a veritable party in your mouth.

Here are the basics of what you’ll need:

  • salmon filets
  • avocado
  • shelled edamame
  • cucumber
  • carrots (matchstick or shredded with a vegetable peeler)
  • pickled radishes

I like to throw radishes in for color and crunch, and you can certainly use them raw. But pickling them is so easy and really amps up the flavor profile, so if you have an extra hour to let them pickle in the fridge before dinner, do it.

The recipe is below. A jar of pickled radishes is a good thing to have on hand for use in Asian dishes, but they’re also great on tacos. Give them a try!

How to make the Citrus Ponzu Sauce

There are many layers of flavor here, but the citrus ponzu is where it’s at. This simple sauce is so flavorful that you won’t even need to season the rice. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • soy sauce
  • rice vinegar
  • orange juice
  • lime juice

Arrange the Salmon Rice Bowl completely and then pour the sauce over top.

How to serve this Salmon Rice Bowl with Avocado & Spicy Mayo

The citrus ponzu sauce can also be used for a raw fish preparation. Simply let the raw fish marinate with some ponzu and sesame seeds in a separate bowl and add it to the completed bowl before serving.

Like any good rice bowl recipe, this Salmon Rice Bowl is completely customizable to your own tastes. Feel free to have fun with the veggies and experiment with different textures. Here are a few topping ideas to try:

  • French-fried onions
  • Cubed mango
  • Seaweed snacks

A rice bowl can be different every time – how fun is that? Let me know your thoughts by dropping a rating or leaving a comment below. Enjoy!
