My sister made me one of these yummy bowls during the start of quarantine and we’ve been hooked since! I made some more shortly after and added my own personal touches to it to add some more flavor. We love eating out on the balcony, on a nice sunny day which is why I named it “California Sun Salmon Sushi Bowl”! I loooove poke bowls but the thought of me working with raw fish scares me so this cooked salmon bowl recipe works perfect if you’re weird about raw fish too! This bowl is super easy to make, and it’s also healthy and refreshing so let’s get right to it!
