Teriyaki Salmon Poke Bowl

I know a Teriyaki Salmon Poke Bowl might sound a little unusual for Easter Monday, but honestly, it turned out to be exactly what we needed. After a weekend full of roast dinners, chocolate treats and celebratory meals, something light, fresh and nourishing felt just right.

We were lucky to have beautiful sunshine today (a rare treat here in the UK!), so we made the most of it with a family day trip to Bodiam Castle. By the time we got home, I knew dinner needed to be quick, effortless and satisfying, and this Teriyaki Salmon Poke Bowl was the perfect answer.

The Teriyaki Salmon Poke Bowl is built on one of our favourite go-to salmon recipes – simple homemade teriyaki salmon. With a few small tweaks, it transforms into a wholesome, colourful bowl that feels both comforting and refreshing.

The Teriyaki Salmon base

Teriyaki salmon is something I make regularly for the family. It’s quick, cooked fresh from scratch and always a crowd-pleaser.

For this Teriyaki Salmon Poke Bowl, I simply follow my usual teriyaki salmon recipe, but slice the salmon into smaller, bite-sized pieces before cooking. This makes it perfect for layering into the bowl and ensures every bite is coated in that glossy, savoury-sweet teriyaki sauce.

Choosing the right rice

Instead of our usual jasmine rice, I use sushi rice for this dish. It has that slightly sticky texture which holds everything together beautifully.

I cook it in the rice cooker, completely hands-free and reliable every time. Once done, let it cool slightly before assembling your bowl so it doesn’t overpower the fresh toppings.

Simple, fresh vegetables

One of the best things about a Teriyaki Salmon Poke Bowl is how flexible it is. You can keep it simple and still create something delicious.

For this version, I used:

• Edamame beans (straight from frozen)
• Cucumber
• Carrot

To prepare:

• Pop the frozen edamame into a jug with water and microwave for about 3 minutes
• Use a peeler to create long, thin ribbons of carrot and cucumber

Fresh, crunchy and ready in minutes.

Optional extras

I also rolled a few salmon sushi pieces to go alongside the bowl, which made it feel a little extra special, especially after our day out.

This is completely optional but if you have time, it adds a lovely touch and makes the meal feel a bit more like a treat.

How to assemble your Teriyaki Salmon Poke Bowl

This is the fun part – bringing everything together.

1. Start with a base of sushi rice in a shallow bowl
2. Arrange your edamame, cucumber and carrot on top
3. Add generous pieces of teriyaki salmon
4. Spoon over extra teriyaki sauce for that glossy finish
5. Add sushi pieces if using
6. Finish with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds

And that’s it – your Teriyaki Salmon Poke Bowl is ready to enjoy.

A bowl that feels as good as it tastes

This dish is everything I love in a meal – simple, fresh, balanced and full of flavour. It’s the kind of recipe you’ll find yourself coming back to again and again, especially as the weather gets warmer.
