A while back, some friends had us for dinner to make poke bowls: those Hawaiian-inspired bowls of fresh fish, veggies, rice, and savory sauces. It was such a tasty and easy dinner concept that we\u2019ve been meaning to share a recipe! Classic poke bowls traditionally feature raw ahi tuna, but we wanted to create a non-traditional spin on it to feature salmon. Meet this delicious seared salmon poke bowl<\/strong>! We got the salmon and all of the ingredients at ALDI, and the salmon is wild caught using their sustainable seafood practices. Here\u2019s how to make it!<\/p>\n

What is a poke bowl?<\/h2>\n

So, what\u2019s a poke bowl? It\u2019s a Hawaiian dish based around raw marinated fish, usually Ahi tuna, that\u2019s cut into cubes and served in a bowl with rice and surrounded by veggies and savory sauces. Poke is pronounced \u201cpoke-ay\u201d, and means \u201cto slice or cut\u201d in Hawaiian: relating to the cut up fish. The bowls are ubiquitous in Hawaii, and you can get them everywhere from gas stations to groceries to restaurants.<\/p>\n

The poke bowl is now having a moment here on Mainland USA, and you can even find poke bowl restaurants here in our hometown of Indianapolis, Indiana! Since poke bowls are a pretty free form concept, there are lots of variations on the way they are prepared. This salmon poke bowl is a spin with seared salmon instead of raw tuna. (We\u2019ve also got a Vegan Poke Bowl with a special veggie-based poke\u2026!)<\/p>\n

A note on buying sustainable seafood<\/h2>\n

Alex and I try to buy sustainable seafood where possible (we eat a mostly plant-based\u00a0diet but flex occasionally to eat sustainable fish). In researching how to buy sustainable seafood, Alex and I have learned to look for wild-caught fish<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Also, frozen is good\u00a0too<\/strong>! A myth about fish is that \u201cfresh is best.\u201d As soon as an animal dies it begins to decompose; freezing suspends this process. If a fish is frozen when it was caught and stays frozen until it gets to your kitchen, it will be higher quality than a raw fish that has taken a week to get to your plate.<\/p>\n

For this salmon poke bowl recipe, we used Fremont Fish Market Wild Caught Salmon<\/strong> from ALDI. We were happy to see that ALDI has some wild caught options. This salmon is certified sustainable by the MSC. For more on ALDI and seafood, see the Seafood Sourcing page on ALDI\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

How to make this salmon poke bowl<\/h2>\n

Alright, here\u2019s how to make salmon poke! As we mentioned above, most poke bowl recipes use raw sushi-grade ahi tuna that is cut into cubes (which is very, very tasty). But for our seared salmon poke bowl spin, here\u2019s what you do:<\/p>\n
