How Do I Use Poke Sauce?

Simply cut up the raw fish you wish to use in your poke bowl (i.e. salmon, tuna, etc.) and place it in a bowl with your poke sauce to coat the fish. Once you have the rest of your bowl assembled, just toss in the fish + sauce and enjoy! Our favorites are a Salmon Poke Bowl or a Tuna Poke Bowl.

Storing Your Poke Sauce

    I love this sauce recipe. I’ve used it many times with many different types of fresh fish. And tonight I’m marinating shark in the sauce. Yum!

    Thank you for the recipe. I made the easy poke sauce recipe. I found the ingredients not balanced – way too much soy sauce relative to the amount of sesame oil and citrus and too little garlic which made it very salty. I had to add lots more oil and garlic and lots of honey to balance out the flavors.
