Ingredients
SALMON:
- 1 slab salmon fillet 200 grams
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free soy sauce I used Tamari
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
- ¼ teaspoon granulated garlic
- ⅛ teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
- generous pinch of kosher salt to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper or to taste)
- olive oil spray
BOWL:
- 2 cups hot cooked rice
- 1 piece Japanese cucumber
- 3 tablespoons corn kernels
- 2 pieces cherry tomatoes
- generous pinch of sesame seeds
SAUCE:
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer at 370°F (188°C). Set at 10 minutes.
- Pat dry all the sides of the fillet with paper towels and carefully remove the salmon skin with a sharp knife. Cut salmon into bite-sized chunks.
- In a small container, combine garlic, smoked sweet paprika, salt, and ground black pepper, then season the salmon pieces.
- Pour the soy sauce and honey over the seasoned salmon pieces, then gently coat all sides. If time permits, marinate for at least 20 minutes to an hour.
- Generously spray the Air Fryer tray (or basket) with olive oil and transfer the seasoned (marinated) salmon pieces.
- Slowly insert the Air Fryer tray (or baket) into the air fryer. Place in middle if using air fryer oven.
- Air fry the seasoned salmon for 8 to 10 minutes and until the thickest part of the salmon pieces reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). The cooked salmon pieces should be flaky with a bit of charring on the sides.
- Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise and sriracha.
- Properly wash and dry the tomatoes and cucumber. Cut bite-sized pieces of the tomatoes and slice the cucumber equally, less than ¼ inch per slice.
Arrange the salmon bowl:
- Once the salmon pieces are cooked, equally fill half of two medium serving bowls with cooked rice. Top with the cooked salmon pieces, tomatoes, cucumber slices, and corn kernels. Then drizzle the prepared sauce over the cooked salmon.
- Garnish the Air Fryer Salmon Bowl with chopped fresh dill.
Notes
This Air Fryer recipe uses an Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer Oven. Not all Air Fryers cook the same way. It’s best to keep watch during your initial tests after purchasing.
Use quality salmon and the freshest of ingredients.
Use a sharp knife to easily remove salmon skin. A sharp fillet or boning knife is recommended to remove the salmon skin. If a fillet or boning knife isn’t available, a sharp chef’s knife will do the trick.
