Fresh Ahi, Salmon, and Yellowtail come together in this easy, light, and mouthwatering appetizer. This flavorful Sashimi Poke is simply irresistible.
I promised a week of healthy, light, and yummy recipes to balance out this notoriously glucose-loading week. 🎃
Since I’m not quite at the point where I can (or want to) deny all the chocolate, I’m fighting back with lean clean meals.
Like I said right here, I’m not sure how helpful that’ll end up being when all’s said and done. How many salads will offset twenty Reese’s PB Cups? Whatevs, I’m still gonna try.
Especially if we’re talking Sashimi Poke. If you’ve never met Poke, introductions are in order…
First, the word Poke looks like it’s something you’d do to your little brother’s back with a stick. Or maybe that’s just how it works in my family. [I’ve got three boys.]
Poke is a popular appetizer you’ll see everywhere in Hawaii, from famous hole-in-the-wall joints to potluck parties. Poke can be pronounced two ways, depending on which Hawaiian guy/gal you’re talking to…either Po-Kee or Po-Kay.
It doesn’t really matter how you say it. Unless you’re in Hawaii and get the local giggle because you said it wrong. Just smile and eat.
Sashimi Poke is my personal favorite version, not just ’cause I made it up, but I’m an incurable sashimi fanatic. Get the best ahi, salmon, yellowtail, and whatever else fish you crave. Super white tuna is top notch; whenever it’s available, I snatch it up. Toss all that goodness with a few seasonings. No cooking needed. 😋
Here’s to the best of two wonderful worlds.
Sashimi + Poke = Awesome. 😎
Enjoy!
