Preparing your Salmon Poke With Macadamia Nuts and Fried Shallots requires just a few straightforward steps. Follow these instructions to bring your dish to life:

1. Prepare the Rice: Rinse the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes or until rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 10 minutes.

2. Fry the Shallots: In a small skillet, heat about ½ inch of oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the thinly sliced shallots. Fry them until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Remove them from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

3. Prepare the Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

4. Toss the Salmon: In a large bowl, gently combine the diced salmon with half of the dressing. Let it marinate for about 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

5. Assemble the Bowl: Divide the cooked sushi rice among serving bowls. Top with the marinated salmon, avocado slices, cucumber, macadamia nuts, and green onions.

6. Finish with Toppings: Drizzle the remaining dressing over the assembled bowls. Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a generous amount of the fried shallots.

7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your poke bowl fresh for the best experience.
