Poké is all the rage in foodservice these days.

Ingredients

Makes about 4 cups (28 oz wt.)

• 1 1/2 pounds Alaska Sockeye Salmon fillet, previously frozen, pin bones, skin, and blood line removed, cut into half-inch cubes
• 1/2 cup (1 1/2 oz. wt.) green onions, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup (2 oz wt.) sweet or white onion, minced 1/8-inch
• 2 tablespoons white sesame seeds, lightly toasted
• 1/4 cup Poke Dressing (recipe follows)

Directions

In a stainless steel bowl combine all ingredients. Gently mix to coat the fish. Store refrigerated for up to one day.

Chef’s Tips:

• Best to let the Poke marinate for 30 minutes before serving.
• Defrost fish in a perforated pan (covered) overnight to drain the juice from the fish.

• 1 cup soy sauce
• 3/4 cup sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

Chef’s Notes:
