How to make Fluke Poke With Coconut Rice and Pickled Onions

Place onion slices in a medium bowl. Bring vinegar, 80ml sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, and 120ml water to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Immediately pour brine over onion and let cool. Cover and chill at least 1 hour.

Meanwhile, rinse rice until water runs clear (this removes surface starch and keeps rice from getting gummy). Combine rice, coconut cream, and 350ml water in a medium saucepan, season lightly with salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until rice is tender, 15–18 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit (keep covered) 10 minutes; fluff coconut jasmine rice with a fork. Keep warm.

Mix jalapeño, soy sauce, lime zest, lime juice, oil, ginger, garlic, and remaining 1/2 teaspoons sugar in a medium bowl. Add fluke, macadamia nuts, and drained pickled red onion to jalapeño-ginger dressing; season with salt and toss gently to combine. Add coriander and toss again.

Divide rice among bowls and top with fluke mixture and pieces of nori.

Red onion can be pickled 5 days ahead; keep chilled. Dressing can be made 1 day ahead; cover and chill.
