Easy Leftover Salmon Poke Bowl Idea

Ingredients

• 200 g Salmon Fillet (skin on, fresh or leftover cooked)
• 1 cup White Short-Grain Rice (rinsed before cooking)
• 2 tbsp Mayonnaise (regular mayo, used as base for quick‑pickled mayo)
• 1 tsp Sesame Oil (toasted sesame oil for flavor)
• 2 tbsp Red Onion (finely diced)
• 1 tbsp Bibimbap Sauce (leftover Korean bibimbap sauce, adds spice)
• 1/4 cup Cucumber (seedless, diced)
• 1/4 medium Avocado (ripe, diced)
• 1 tbsp Fried Onions (store‑bought or homemade)
• 2 tbsp Salmon Skin (fried until crisp, then flaked)

   Rinse 1 cup of short‑grain rice until water runs clear. Add to a rice cooker with 1¼ cups water (or to a pot, bring to boil then simmer covered). Cook for about 15 minutes, then let rest 5 minutes before fluffing.

6. Assemble the Poke Bowl

   Divide the cooked rice between two bowls. Top with diced salmon, drizzle the spicy mayo sauce, then add cucumber, avocado, flaked salmon skin, fried onions, and a sprinkle of furikake if using.
