Steps

  1. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, ras el hanout, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
  2. In a serving bowl, layer the cooked quinoa as the base.
  3. Arrange the diced salmon, cucumber, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and avocado on top of the quinoa.
  4. Drizzle the Moroccan dressing over the assembled ingredients.
  5. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Tips for Moroccan Spiced Poke Bowl

  • Keep the salmon and vegetables chilled until assembly; the finished bowl should look bright, with distinct colors rather than muddled toppings.
  • Use a fine grater to add a little lemon zest to the dressing for a more pronounced citrus aroma without adding extra liquid.
  • Have the quinoa fully cooled before serving so it does not warm the salmon or soften the crisp vegetables.

Drink pairing

A dry rosé
Its crisp acidity complements the citrus dressing and fresh vegetables, while its light fruitiness suits the aromatic spices and salmon.

0% option: Sparkling water with lemon

Storage

Because the bowl contains raw salmon, it is best eaten fresh the same day. Keep any leftovers covered and refrigerated, and discard after one day; do not leave it at room temperature for more than two hours.

Frequently asked questions

Can I prepare any parts ahead?
Cook and cool the quinoa, and chop the vegetables shortly ahead. Keep everything covered and chilled; dice the avocado and assemble close to serving so it stays fresh-looking.

How can I tell if the salmon is suitable for this bowl?
Use salmon sold specifically for raw consumption, keep it cold, and follow the seller's handling guidance. If its freshness or handling is uncertain, do not serve it raw.

What texture should the finished bowl have?
The quinoa should be tender and separate, the vegetables crisp, and the avocado creamy. The salmon should look fresh and glossy, not dull or dried out.
