Ingredients
Scale
1 pound salmon fillet, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon avocado oil
1 cup uncooked white rice or brown rice
1 cup water (for rice)
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to your heat preference)
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup chopped cucumber
1 cup shredded carrots
2 green onions, sliced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
Cook the rice according to package directions using 1 cup of water. Set aside and keep warm.
While the rice cooks, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, sriracha, ginger, and garlic.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon cubes and cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned on one side.
Pour the prepared glaze over the salmon. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, tossing gently until the salmon is cooked through and the sauce thickens into a glossy coating. Remove from heat.
Assemble your bowls: Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top the rice with the glazed salmon cubes.
Arrange the fresh toppings: Place cucumber slices and shredded carrots around the salmon.
Drizzle any remaining sauce from the pan over the bowls. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
For an air fryer salmon bowl, toss the salmon cubes with the glaze and cook at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.
If you prefer less heat, start with 1/2 tablespoon of sriracha in the glaze.
This recipe works well for salmon meal prep; store the sauce and toppings separately until ready to eat.
