For this versatile dish we used Cold Country Salmon’s Sockeye Salmon, a “beyond sushi grade” fish. There are many different variations of Poke, but the elements include raw fish, a soy sauce based dressing, and aromatics. You can eat over steamed rice or on its own. Add your favorite veggies in a beautiful display, then mix it all together to eat!
