  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs salmon fillets (45 fillets)

2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

1 tbsp honey or maple syrup

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp ground ginger (or 1 tsp fresh grated ginger)

1 tsp sesame oil (toasted)

1/4 tsp black pepper

Cooking spray or olive oil (for air fryer basket)

4 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or sushi rice)

12 ripe avocado (diced or sliced)

1/2 English cucumber (thinly sliced or diced)

1 cup shelled edamame (cooked and cooled)

1/2 cup shredded carrots

23 stalks green onions (sliced)

1 tsp sesame seeds (toasted)

For the Sriracha Mayo: 1/2 cup mayonnaise

12 tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)

1 tsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Cook your rice according to package directions. Fluff with a fork once cooked and set aside.

2. Step 2: Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. In a shallow dish, whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper. Add salmon and turn to coat. Marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes (or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator).

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

4. Step 4: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place salmon in a single layer in the basket (cook in batches if needed). Air fry for 10-15 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 125-130°F for medium or 140-145°F for well done. Flip halfway if desired.

5. Step 5: While salmon cooks, prepare toppings: dice avocado, slice cucumber, and have edamame, carrots, and green onions ready. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice for the sauce.

6. Step 6: Assemble bowls: Divide rice among 4 bowls. Flake or slice salmon and place on rice. Arrange avocado, cucumber, edamame, and carrots around salmon. Drizzle with sriracha mayo. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary. Pat salmon very dry for crispy skin. Leftover components can be stored separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat salmon gently in the air fryer at 300°F for 5-7 minutes. Avocado is best added fresh.
