3-4ccooked sushi rice
1ccucumber, sliced
1cshredded red cabbage
½cshredded carrot
1ccooked edamame beans

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350° F. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the soy, honey, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, lime juice, garlic, ginger and mustard. Set aside ¼ cup and then add the salmon cubes to the remaining soy mixture and toss to coat. In a separate pot, cook 1 ½ cups of rice, if using, as per package directions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and sriracha and adjust the amount of spice to taste.
Remove salmon from marinade and arrange it on a greased or parchment lined baking sheet. Place it in the oven and bake until just opaque through, about 7-10 minutes depending on how thick your pieces are.
While the salmon is baking, toast your sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant and lightly browned, about 3 minutes, remove from the pan and let cool. Next, chop and slice any onions, herbs, nori, fruit and vegetables you want to use for toppings.
Fill bowls with ¾-1 cup of rice and add salmon, sliced avocado and red onions, if using. Drizzle the remaining soy sauce mixture over the salmon and onions. Add any other vegetables and herbs, then drizzle the spicy mayo over and sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds (and nori if using) over top and serve.
Notes
Traditional poke doesn't include all the vegetable toppings so don't feel you have to add a lot of toppings, just choose your favorites or what you have on hand.*Note: if you use edamame beans, ensure they are cooked (boiled for 3-5 minutes) first.
