Salmon, apple and cider poké bowl
Ingredients
For rice
¾ cup (180 ml) water
½ cup (125 ml) Calrose rice (Japanese sticky rice)
1 tablespoon (15 ml) cider vinegar
1 teaspoon (5 ml) honey
For the salmon
½ lb (225 g) very fresh, skinless salmon
¼ cup (60 ml) Domaine Steinbach L'authentique cider
1 teaspoon (5 ml) cider vinegar
½ tsp (2 ml) Sriracha-type hot sauce
½ tsp (2 ml) toasted sesame oil
For the cider sauce
¼ cup (60 ml) plain Greek yogurt
¼ cup (60 ml) mayonnaise
3 tbsp (45 ml) Domaine Steinbach L'authentique cider
1 tsp (5 ml) Sriracha-type hot sauce
To garnish
1 Spartan apple, thinly sliced
1 avocado, thinly sliced
1 Lebanese cucumber, diced
2-3 radishes, diced
¼ cup (60 ml) edamame beans, thawed
1 green shallot, minced
Toasted sesame seeds
Preparation
For the rice: Bring the water and rice to the boil in a small saucepan. Reduce the heat to minimum, cover, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until all the water has been absorbed. Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the cider and honey (if necessary, warm slightly so that the honey mixes well.) Uncover the rice, then stir gently with a fork. Pour the cider-honey mixture over the rice and stir with a spatula. Cover again while you prepare the other components of the bowl.
For the salmon: Cut the salmon into small cubes and transfer to a bowl. Add cider, cider vinegar, hot sauce and toasted sesame oil and mix well. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
For the sauce: Whisk all ingredients together. Set aside or refrigerate.
To serve: Divide rice between two large bowls. Add marinated salmon and garnishes. Serve with cider sauce, to taste.
