- Cooking Time: 10 minutes
- Serves: 4 people
Ingredients:
- Miso Ginger Dressing
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 ½ tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 tablespoon miso
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons minced ginger
- ¼ teaspoon wasabi – optional
- Pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Salad
- 150g baby spinach or rocket leaves
- 1 cucumber – sliced into ribbons
- 150g edamame – fresh, or defrost from frozen
- 50g radishes – sliced
- 200g carrots – peeled and grated
- 2 spring onions – sliced
- 2 avocados – sliced
- Seared Salmon
- 3 tablespoons white sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons black sesame seeds
- Pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 4 fresh salmon steaks – skin removed (Approx 170g-200g each)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)
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.
