  • Total Time: 18 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Salmon Bites

  • 1 pound salmon fillets
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons teriyaki sauce
  • ½ Tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Salmon Bowl Components

  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 head broccoli, steamed
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and shredded
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 green onion, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon: Remove the skin from the salmon fillets using a sharp blade and discard it. Chop the fillets into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the teriyaki sauce, olive oil, honey, soy sauce, ground black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined. Coat the salmon cubes evenly with the marinade. (Optional: Double the sauce amount to use extra as a dressing later.)
  3. Preheat and Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the salmon cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overlapping. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through. Turning the salmon halfway through cooking is optional for even crispiness.
  4. Garnish the Salmon Bites: Once cooked, serve the salmon bites warm sprinkled with sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
  5. Assemble the Salmon Bowl: In a medium bowl, add 4 ounces of the cooked salmon bites, ½ cup of cooked white rice, ⅓ cup of shredded carrots, ¼ sliced avocado, and 1 cup of steamed broccoli florets. Top with sesame seeds, sliced green onion, and your favorite dressing such as the reserved teriyaki sauce or sriracha mayo for a flavorful touch.

Notes

  • Be sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure the salmon cooks evenly and crisps properly.
  • You can double the sauce recipe to have extra dressing to drizzle over the bowl or serve on the side.
  • For a low-sodium option, use low-sodium soy sauce and teriyaki sauce.
  • Leftover salmon bites can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
  • Feel free to swap white rice for brown rice or cauliflower rice for a healthier alternative.
  • Use fresh, high-quality salmon fillets for the best taste and texture.
