The inspiration for this dinner came from a local restaurant that I live nearby. They make poke bowls and our entire family loves them so much. Living about an hour away, and often times craving their poke bowls, I decided to recreate what they are making by their inspiring tastes that they blend together to make these dishes.

Since I am not confident in handling and serving raw fish at home, I made this recipe to be more family friendly by cooking the fish! Air frying the salmon in a lemon honey sauce makes it taste so yummy. All my kids love this meal and oftentimes ask for seconds. I have incorporated this into our regular meal rotation and meal planning ever since I introduced it to them all.

Is a poke bowl the same as a sushi roll bowl?

A poke bowl is a blend of Hawaiian and Japanese cuisine. Poke bowls usually contain raw ahi tuna and are loaded with veggies and sauces. A sushi roll bowl is a deconstructed sushi roll. Both are very similar; however, poke bowls tend to have more topping options.

To make this salmon sushi roll bowl more family friendly, and reduce the risk of salmonella or other undesirable microbes, my version contains cooked fish. You can use any of your favorite wild caught fish but the one we are using in this recipe is salmon.

These bowls are super healthy because they are loaded with nutrients and have an abundance of flavor!

How healthy is salmon for you?

There is so much research that shows that wild caught fish is full of nutrients such as protein, omega 3’s, vitamin D, and B vitamins.

Salmon also contains selenium. Recently, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s. I have learned how vital this mineral is in supporting healthy thyroid function. Other sources besides salmon are: other seafoods, organ meats, and Brazil nuts.

Did you know that omega 3’s can help protect against concussions? Omega-3 also help to control inflammation and maintain muscle mass after an injury. (source) It is an amazing preventative especially if your kids play sports and are more at risk for injury.

We don’t eat fish daily, so taking a supplement can be helpful to get a daily dose in. Our family loves the fermented cod liver oil from green pastures. It comes in capsule or flavored oil so that it is more palatable to kids and adults.

Steps for making salmon sushi roll bowl

1. Begin working on the salmon fillets by mixing together the honey, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, and a dash of cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
2. Place your salmon fillet, skin side down, on your rack for the air fryer.
3. Then gently brush your sauce mixture over the tops of the salmon.
4. Cook in your air fryer at a temperature of 350° for 15 minutes. It is finished cooking when it flakes easily with a fork or the temperature reaches 145° F.
5. While the salmon is cooking, pour your bone broth and rice in a medium sauce pan over medium high heat and bring it to a boil.
6. Once it is boiling reduce the heat to medium low heat and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and fluffy. Stir it occasionally so that nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan.
7. While the fish and rice are cooking, take this free time to chop up the cucumber, carrots, red onion, and avocado.
8. Assemble the bowls by starting with rice, add the salmon fillet, and place the chopped veggies around the fish.
9. Then add the toppings: cream cheese, avocado, and seaweed.
10. Lastly, add the sauces overtop!

Notes

Some other great toppings to try are below:

• Edamame
• Green onions
• Crunchy fried onions

If using an oven

• Preheat your oven to 450° F.
• Coat your dish (glass dish, cast iron, or lined baking sheet) with oil or butter.
• Place your fillets skin side down.
• Coat the salmon fillets generously with the lemon honey mixture.
• Then bake for 12-16 minutes or until the internal temperature is at 145°F.
