By Martha Cheng, EatingWell on

Poke (pronounced poh-kay), a bite-size marinated fish salad, is easy to make at home with this quick recipe. Sriracha and Chinese-style mustard add a touch of heat to the classic poke seasoning of soy sauce and sesame oil. Serving it over a brown rice salad makes it a meal.
