Poke, pronounced poh-kay, is one of Hawaii's most well-known dishes. Poke means 'to slice' or 'cut crosswise into pieces', so we've made a delicious Korean inspired version for our Gochujang Salmon Poke Bowl.

Cooking Instructions and Tips

Roast the Sweet Potato
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Chop the sweet potatoes into 1cm chunks (no need to peel) and pop them onto a large baking tray.

Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary. 

When the oven is hot, roast on the middle shelf until golden and tender, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through.

Cook the Garlic Rice
2

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Pop a deep saucepan (with a tight-fitting lid) on medium heat with the oil (see pantry for amount). When hot, add the garlic and stir-fry for 1 min.

Stir in the rice until coated, 1 min. Add 1/4 tsp salt and the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid.

Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).

Salmon Time
3

In the meantime, lay the salmon fillets, skin-side down, onto another lined medium baking tray. Season with salt and pepper. 

Pop the salmon onto the top shelf of your oven until cooked through, 10-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish. It's cooked when opaque in the middle.

Smack the Cucumber
4

While everything's in the oven, trim the cucumber, then pop onto a board and use a rolling pin to gently smack it a few times until split. Cut into roughly 2cm chunks.

In a medium bowl, combine the sambal paste, rice vinegar and sugar for the dressing (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper. 

Add the cucumber into the dressing and mix together. Set aside. 

Time for the Sauce
5

A few mins before everything's ready, pop a small saucepan on medium heat.

Add the gochujang paste, honey and butter for the sauce (see pantry for amount). TIP: If your honey has hardened, put the sachet in a bowl of hot water for 1 min to loosen.

Stir vigorously until the butter has melted and the sauce is piping hot, 1-2 mins. Remove from the heat. 

Serve Up
6

Share the rice between your serving bowls.

Top the rice with the salmon, sweet potato and smacked cucumber in separate sections. Spoon the gochujang butter sauce over the fish (reheat first if needed) and drizzle over any remaining dressing over the cucumber.

Drizzle over the mayo (see pantry for amount) and sprinkle with the sesame seeds to finish. 

Enjoy!
