This sesame seared salmon poke bowl is light, refreshing and colourful. You can use this recipe as a base and substitute with other salad ingredients if preferred.

Method

  • Combine dressing ingredients in a small blender or food processor. Add wasabi to taste.
  • Prepare all the salad ingredients.
  • For the salmon, place the sesame seeds, salt, pepper and thyme in a wide bowl and stir well. Brush the salmon with soy sauce and coat on all sides with the sesame seed mix, pressing in the sesame seeds.
  • To sear the salmon, heat a large frying pan with olive oil over a medium heat. When hot, place the salmon carefully in the frying pan and sear the first side until golden, approx. 3 to 4 minutes depending on thickness. Turn and sear on the other side until completely cooked in the centre. Place on kitchen paper to remove any excess oil. Leave to rest for 5 minutes.
  • To assemble the poke bowl, mix the spinach, cucumber, edamame, radishes and carrots in a large bowl. Spoon over a little dressing to coat. Divide among 4 plates. Top with salmon and avocado slices. Garnish with the spring onions and drizzle any remaining dressing.
