NW Smoked Salmon Poke Salad
The Hawaiian dish, Poke, is the newest food sensation making waves in Portland. The area has seen a significant increase in the Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander populations over the past two years. In recognition of this growing community and the iconic Pacific Northwest salmon, Chefs Jessica Boisture and Michael Waterman have collaborated to create a unique poke salad.
The Northwest Smoked Salmon Poke Salad offers a vibrant mix of refreshing greens including delicious cucumber and wake salad, accompanied by a variety of pickled ginger, sesame seeds, and green onion.
