Ingredients: choose, mix & match
- 200 g fresh salmon (sashimi quality), cubed
- 150 g sushi rice
- 1 tbsp Nicolas Vahé Cucumber Vinegar

How to make this Scandinavian poke bowl
- Cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions. Let it cool slightly until just warm.
- Make the dressing: mix cucumber vinegar, mango vinegar, and a tablespoon of mango-coconut chutney in a small bowl. Stir until you have a fresh, aromatic dressing.
- Briefly marinate the salmon cubes in a tablespoon of this dressing—this keeps the fish beautifully tender and instantly gives it that unique Nicolas Vahé touch.
- Divide the rice between two bowls. Arrange the salmon, avocado, cucumber, radish, edamame, and nori neatly side by side for that true Instagram-worthy bowl.
- Generously drizzle the rest of the dressing over everything and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Finish with fresh herbs.
Variation tips: make it your own!
- Vegetarian? Swap the salmon for marinated tofu or roasted halloumi.
- Prefer chicken? Go for grilled chicken breast, marinated in the same fresh dressing.
- Want extra crunch? Add crispy onions or roasted nuts.
- Craving some heat? Add a bit of red chili or fresh ginger to the dressing.
