Kodiak Poke Bowl (Sockeye Salmon with Rustic Veggies)

The Kodiak Bowl was a customer favorite from our original food truck — a hearty, colorful poke bowl that stands out with a few unexpected toppings. Fresh sockeye salmon cubes marinated in a tangy-sesame sauce are layered over rice and paired with crisp cucumber, creamy avocado, and vibrant carrots. But what makes this bowl truly “Kodiak” are the bold extras — crunchy radish, purple cabbage, and sweet green peas — a rustic mix that’s as wild and satisfying as the island itself.

Ingredients (Serves 2)

For the Poke Salmon
  • ½ lb sushi-grade sockeye salmon, cut into ¾-inch cubes
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 tsp sriracha (or chili paste)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
For the Bowl
  • 2 cups cooked white rice (warm or room temp)
  • ½ cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • ½ cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 3–4 radishes, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup green peas (fresh or thawed from frozen)
  • Sesame seeds or furikake, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the salmon: In a bowl, whisk soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, and sesame oil. Add cubed salmon and toss gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prep the toppings: While the salmon marinates, prepare cucumber, avocado, carrots, cabbage, radishes, and peas.
  3. Assemble the bowls: Divide cooked rice between two bowls. Top each with a generous scoop of marinated salmon. Arrange cucumber, avocado, carrots, cabbage, radishes, and peas around the salmon.
  4. Garnish: Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
  • For extra flavor, double the marinade and reserve half to drizzle over the bowls before serving.
  • This recipe highlights sockeye salmon, but you can also make it with king salmon for a richer bite.
  • Keep it rustic: no need for perfect presentation, the heart of this bowl is its hearty mix and bold flavors.
