Instructions

1. 1. Prepare the salmon: Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush with olive oil. Combine garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried dill, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle evenly over salmon, pressing gently.

2. 2. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, fresh dill, and salt and pepper. Set aside.

3. 3. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.

4. 4. Air fry salmon: Place salmon in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-14 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and flakes easily.

5. 5. Assemble bowls: Divide cooked rice among 4 bowls. Arrange cucumber, tomatoes, avocado, and red onion around the rice.

6. 6. Flake salmon into chunks and place over bowls. Drizzle with dressing. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat the salmon dry for a crispy exterior. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Adjust cooking time based on fillet thickness. For meal prep, store components separately. Reheat salmon gently at 300°F in air fryer for 5-7 minutes. Customize with different grains, vegetables, or dressings. Recipe can be made gluten-free and dairy-free as written.
