Summer is in full swing! Grilling might be on the top of your what to eat list, but sometimes the thought of standing over a hot, smoky grill in the heat can make you sweat, literally. But, there’s a way to enjoy Summer food and stay cool. This week, we’re going to talk about how you can enjoy the poke bowl trend with some tips for making them healthy.

This recipe is from Chowhound, and I know you’ll love it! It’s cool and refreshing, full of bright, crisp vegetables, fresh fish, and flavor. With plenty of protein, carbs, and healthy fats, this salmon poke bowl will leave you feeling fancy and satisfied.

Salmon Poke Bowl

Salmon:

• 1 pound salmon, diced into 1/2-inch cubes

• 1/4 cup soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon sesame oil

• 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar

• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced

• 3 green onions, white parts thinly sliced

Rice Bowl:

• 1 cup cooked brown rice

• 1 cucumber

• 4 radishes

• 1 avocado

• 2 carrots

• Black sesame seeds

In a medium sized bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, ginger, garlic, and green onions. Stir well to combine. Add salmon and marinate for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

With a vegetable peeler, peel thin, long ribbons of cucumber. Then, thinly slice, or mandolin, the radishes. Quarter the avocado, and cut into thin slices. Lastly, peel carrots and then cut into 1-inch long, thin matchsticks.

Serve the salmon on top of brown rice and top with sesame seeds. Then place the cucumber, radish, avocado, and carrots in the bowl with the salmon poke.

Next Sunday, we’ll talk about one of the biggest exercise myths out there - that you can lose fat in an area of the body by strength training or exercising that specific body part.
