Salmon Poke
Click for larger view
Poke is a Hawaiian word for “to Slice” or “cut crosswise into pieces”. It is a dish of raw fish marinated in various sauces and served as an appetizer or main dish over rice. This one contains salmon but is commonly made using ahi tuna, yellow fin tuna or any variety of fishes. What you do need to have available from your local market is sashimi- grade fish (meaning that it is safe to eat it raw). Make sure you buy from a market you find trustworthy. If you like raw fish you will find this a real treat.
