Salmon Poke

I never used to like raw fish, but this recipe changed my mind. It's delicious and keeps you coming back for more. If you get really fresh fish, this dish tastes NOTHING like fish! It's great for an appetizer and even better with beer! Almost forgot to mention that fish is a great source of protein and omega fatty acids (brain food)!!

INGREDIENTS
1 lb.  fresh sushi grade Salmon, cut into 1/2" cubes
1 tsp course sea salt
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 stalk green onions, chopped
1/4 cup Ono seaweed
1 small cucumber, diced


WHAT TO DO
Mix all the ingredients and refrigerate for a couple of hours to make the flavors incorporate, or if you're like me, just eat it right away and......enjoy!

TIP: 
You can use any type of fresh grade sushi fish.
