My family loves these salmon bowls because they are fast and healthy for a busy weeknight. The salmon gets perfectly crispy in the air fryer while the rice stays warm and comforting underneath.

The key to this dish is the spicy mayo drizzle. It adds a nice creamy kick that ties all the fresh veggies and buttery avocado together in every single bite.

🧺 Ingredients

1 pound salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1 inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups cooked white or brown rice
1 ripe avocado, sliced
1 cup cucumber, sliced
1/4 cup shredded carrots
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sriracha
1 teaspoon honey
Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
Toss the salmon cubes in a bowl with the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt until evenly coated.
3
Place the salmon pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 7 to 9 minutes until golden and crispy.
4
While the salmon cooks, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha, and honey in a small bowl until smooth.
5
Divide the warm rice into bowls and top each with the cooked salmon, cucumber slices, shredded carrots, and avocado.
6
Drizzle the spicy mayo over the bowls and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftover salmon in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. To keep the avocado fresh, squeeze a little lime juice over the slices before serving. These bowls are great for meal prep if you keep the sauce in a separate container until you are ready to eat.
