Notes

Fish Quality: Ensure you’re using sushi-grade salmon to make sure it’s safe for raw consumption.
Rice Options: If you prefer, you can substitute sushi rice with quinoa or brown rice for a healthier, fiber-packed option.
Toppings: Feel free to get creative with the toppings! You can add ingredients like mango, radish, or toasted nori for more flavor and texture.
For a spicy kick: Add a bit of Sriracha or wasabi to your poke bowl sauce for a bit of heat.
