Steps:
- Obtain sushi-grade salmon (packaging should specify "sushi grade" and it should be frozen upon purchase).
- Thaw sushi-grade salmon in your refrigerator until completely thawed. Place salmon on a clean cutting board on top of a clean counter top. Use a knife to remove the salmon skin.
- Chop the salmon into bite-sized pieces. I like chopping it into small pieces, but you can go for larger cubes if you'd like.
- Place salmon in a clean mixing bowl (or regular bowl).
- Stir together the ingredients for the sauce in a measuring cup or bowl and pour over the chopped salmon. Stir well until everything is combined. Taste the salmon for flavor and add more of anything you'd like!
- Enjoy in a poke bowl, sushi burger, and/or on top of a green salad.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest possible fish. This will ensure that your poke is of the highest quality and has the best flavor.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the fish into small, even pieces. This will help the marinade to penetrate the fish more easily and evenly.
- Don't over-marinate the fish. Marinating the fish for too long can make it tough and rubbery. Aim to marinate the fish for 30 minutes to an hour, or up to overnight if you're using a milder marinade.
- Use a variety of ingredients in your marinade. This will give your poke a more complex and flavorful taste. Some popular ingredients to use include soy sauce, sesame oil, green onions, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- Serve poke immediately after marinating. This will ensure that the fish is at its best flavor and texture.
