Salmon Poke With Macadamia Nuts
Poke (pronounced “poe-kay”) is a popular Hawaiian dish that has taken the mainland by storm.
You can find poke shops and food trucks everywhere, but you can easily make it at home.
Since poke is made with raw fish, buy your fish the day you plan to eat it and keep it chilled at all times.
Make sure to ask the fish counter at your grocery store for the freshest sushi-grade fish they have that day.
To make this salmon poke, start by whisking together the dressing made from soy sauce, sesame oil, green onions, and crushed red pepper.
The pepper flakes can be adjusted or omitted if you’re not a fan of spicy food, but they really balance the umami flavors of the sauce and the healthy omega-3s in the salmon.
Use a sharp knife to slice the fish into uniform, bite-sized cubes, then toss them with the sauce.
Poke can be eaten right away, but it’ll taste best if you let it marinate in the refrigerator for about an hour.
When you’re ready to eat, sprinkle the salmon poke with chopped macadamia nuts, sesame seeds, and chopped nori (the dried sheets of seaweed that are used to make sushi rolls).
