Ingredients

250-300 grams salmon fillets, skin off approx 2 medium sized fillets
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon sriracha
1 teaspoon crushed ginger
1 clove garlic crushed
½ teaspoon sesame oil

To serve:

2 cups cooked rice see notes
¼ cucumber sliced
1 medium avocado
½ cup shelled edamame
Sriracha mayo see notes
Nori sheets optional for garnish
Sesame seeds optional for garnish

Instructions

Cut the salmon fillets into cubes and set aside. In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, sriracha, ginger, garlic and sesame oil. Add in the cubes of salmon and toss to coat in the marinate. Set aside in the fridge for a minimum of 15 minutes to marinade but ideally 30 minutes to an hour.
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C or 400°F (if your air fryer doesn’t have a preheat function, just run for a few minutes). Add the cubes of salmon to the basket in an even layer and air fry for 3 minutes. Check and turn the salmon to prevent any burning and air fry again for another 3 minutes or until the salmon is delicate and flakes easily with a fork.
Assemble the salmon bowls. Place a cup of rice in each bowl and divide the salmon pieces between them. Add your toppings (cucumber, avocado and edamame) and garnish with pieces of nori and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Drizzle the sriracha mayo over the top and enjoy!

Notes

Rice: You can use any rice you prefer. I like to use seasoned sushi rice. To make it, I just cook my sushi rice in the rice cooker and then use a store bought sushi rice seasoning which contains a combination of rice vinegar, sugar and salt.

While you can buy sriracha mayo from the grocery store, I usually just make my own by mixing together kewpie mayonnaise with sriracha. I usually use a ratio of 2:1 but make it according to your tastes. Season with salt.
