The Perfect Salmon Poke Bowl: Chef Cyril Lignac’s Tips & Tricks!

Getting Started: Crafting the Perfect Salmon

Begin by whipping up those 2 egg whites until you achieve a frothy texture. Once you’ve got that frothiness just right, roll your salmon fillet in it. Next, dunk the salmon into a fun mix of sesame seeds, puffed rice, and those optional crushed hazelnuts if you’re feeling a bit nutty.

Heat up a smidge of butter and oil in a pan and cook the salmon, making sure you give each side its moment in the spotlight.

While your salmon is sizzling, get that white rice boiling. As it cooks, whip up a zesty vinaigrette using mustard, sesame oil, vinegar, and soy sauce. Add a kick with some grated ginger and minced onion. Once your rice is fluffy and ready, season it generously with your homemade vinaigrette and introduce it to some mango slices. And if you’re all about contrast, throw in some endive for a subtle bitter touch, as Chef Lignac recommends.

Now, for the pièce de résistance! Lay those crispy salmon slices right on top, and voilà – your very own chef-inspired poke bowl!
