NW Smoked Salmon Poke Salad
The latest food sensation blazing trails through Portland is the Hawaiian dish, Poke. With the Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander populations seeing the largest increase in the area in past two years, Chef Jessica Boisture and Chef Michael Waterman worked together to create a unique poke salad that pays tribute to this growing population and the iconic salmon of the Pacific Northwest.
