There is nothing quite like a salmon bowl for a quick and satisfying dinner. These bites get perfectly crispy in the air fryer while staying nice and tender on the inside.

I love serving these over a bed of warm rice with plenty of fresh veggies. If you have any leftover salmon, it keeps well in the fridge for a day or two.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound salmon fillet, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup cucumber, sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    Toss the salmon cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until well coated.

  3. 3

    Place the salmon in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through until golden and crispy.

  4. 4

    Whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha, and soy sauce in a small bowl to make the sauce.

  5. 5

    Divide the warm rice into bowls and top each with the crispy salmon, avocado, cucumber, and carrots.

  6. 6

    Drizzle the spicy mayo over the top and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

💡 Tips

To make this meal even faster, you can use leftover rice or pre cooked microwaveable rice. Keep the spicy mayo in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to one week if you have extra left over.
