Salmon poke with miso-sesame dressing

Ingredients

  • 300g sashimi-grade salmon fillet
  • 300g (1½ cups) cooked brown rice
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 100g shelled edamame
  • 80g shredded purple cabbage
  • 2 spring onions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • Marinade: 1 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp tamari, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar, 1 tsp fresh grated ginger, 1 tsp sriracha (optional)

Method

  1. Slice salmon into bite-sized cubes. Whisk together miso, tamari, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, and sriracha if using.
  2. Add salmon to the marinade and toss gently. Set aside for 10 minutes — don't leave much longer as the acid will start to cure the fish.
  3. Divide warm brown rice between two bowls.
  4. Arrange salmon, avocado, cucumber, edamame, and cabbage over the rice.
  5. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the bowls. Top with spring onion and sesame seeds.

doTERRA oil tip: A drop of Lemon essential oil stirred into the marinade brightens the whole dish. If you enjoy heat, a tiny drop of Black Pepper oil adds warmth without overpowering the salmon.

Marcia's tip: Use pre-cooked brown rice pouches to make this genuinely a 15-minute meal. No shame in that shortcut.
