Instructions

  1. Once you have your Salmon cooked, rice cooked, veggies chopped, these bowls are as easy as ever to assemble.

    ingredients needed to make salmon bowl: cooked salmon bites in a bowl, coked rice in a bowl, shredded carrot on a plate, sliced avocados on a board, sliced cucumbers and green onions on a board, some spicy mayo, sesame seeds in a bowl, shredded seaweed on a bowl
  2. Start by layering the cooked rice at the bottom of the bowl. We optionally added some spinach leaves for texture and to make it more nutritious.
    Two bowls on a wooden board with a base of rice and optional some spinach on the side.

  3. Arrange the veggies over the rice, like cucumbers, avocados, kimchi and carrots. Make sure to leave the center for the salmon. That way you get to taste it with every bite!

    Shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers and avocados are arranged over the rice.
  4. Now add in the Air Fryer Salmon Bites, some seaweed shreds, the green onions and kimchi if you're using. You can also add pickled ginger or edamame or your favorite ingredients.
    The salmon bites are added in the middle of the bowl over the rice and surrounded by all the veggies.
  5. The best way to finish off a salmon bowl is to drizzle with a sauce. While we have used out homemade Spicy Mayo, you can use any. Teriyaki sauce works great here. Garlic Parmesan Sauce or even Tartar Sauce Recipe goes great. A simple yet amazing Hot Honey Recipe can't go wrong.

  6. A final sprinkle of sesame seeds adds texture to the plate. You can try toasted sesame, white sesame or a combo of white and black sesame. You can also try toasted Panko on top.

  3. Prepare the veggies and ingredients you love for these bowls ahead of time.
  4. Make ahead: Assemble the salmon bowls and keep them in the fridge, covered for upto 3 days. Drizzle the sauce only before serving. You will eat them cold in this case.
  5. To Make ahead and enjoy warm: Prep all ingredients and store them separately in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat the salmon, and rice in the air fryer and microwave. Assemble right before serving.
  6. Leftovers of this salmon bowl make the best Sushi Burrito! Simple roll the leftovers in to a burrito and enjoy for lunch!
  7. To make the bowls low carb: Use cauliflower rice or greens only. 
  8. For a vegan/vegetarian bowl: Use Tofu instead of salmon. 
  9. Use a sauce to finish off the fish, it makes a huge difference! Spicy Mayo is out favorite, but you can also use Garlic Parmesan Sauce or Teriyaki sauce. Spice it up with Hot Honey Recipe or even something super spicy like. Hot Pepper Sauce.
