METHOD
- Make the Salmon Poke – In a medium bowl, combine diced salmon, soy sauce, green onions, rice wine vinegar, sriracha, and sesame oil. Cover and refrigerate while making the pickled cucumbers.
- Make the Pickled Cucumbers – In a medium saucepan, combine rice wine vinegar, water, honey, salt, and chili flakes. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, add cucumber slices, and stir. Marinate for 10 minutes, then transfer the cucumber mixture to a container. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use or freeze for 5 to 10 minutes to cool quickly.
- Make the Sriracha Mayonnaise – In a small bowl, whisk the Sriracha and mayonnaise until combined.
- Assemble the Bowl – To serve, add any additional ingredients to the bowl, such as rice or salad for the base. Top with salmon poke, pickled cucumbers, and Sriracha mayonnaise.
Notes
- Salmon Selection: Purchase sashimi-grade or sushi-grade salmon.
- Sriracha Substitute: Use garlic chili sauce, chili paste, chili crisp, or gochujang.
- Cucumber Substitute: Slice about 1 cup of English or regular cucumbers.
- Make-Ahead: The pickled cucumbers and sriracha sauce can be refrigerated and made 5 days in advance. It’s best to eat the salmon poke on the same day of preparation.
