5-Minute Sesame Salmon Poke

Posted on

Updated on

This quick and flavorful dish features salmon and avocado, both of which are rich in nutrients and great for your skin.

Infused with sesame oil, it takes just 5 minutes to prepare.

Enjoy it by itself as an appetizer or serve it over warm rice as a satisfying poke bowl.

Make a large batch---you'll want more!

Tip: Use a fully ripe avocado---it should yield slightly when gently pressed.

Cut the salmon and avocado into evenly-sized pieces for the best presentation.

For a spicy kick, drizzle with chili oil just before serving.
