Poke is a raw fish salad served as an appetizer or main course in Hawaiian cuisine. Be sure to use fresh, sushi-grade tuna for the very best flavor. The topping options are endless. I made it with avocado and baby cucumbers.

Ingredients
¼ cup tamari
¼ cup mirin
2 tablespoons minced scallions, white and green parts
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons grated ginger
1 teaspoon honey
1 Fresno chile, minced
Kosher salt
1 pound sushi-grade ahi tuna, cut into ¼-inch dice
Toppings
Sliced Persian cucumbers
