Servings: 3 -4 servings
Ingredients
For the salmon:
- 4 salmon fillets around 1 pound, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning such as Old Bay
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the spicy mayo:
- ½ cup mayo
- ⅓ cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
To serve:
- 2-3 cups cooked rice
- 1-2 avocados sliced
- Edamame
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees. Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. In a bowl, mix the cubed salmon with the olive oil, Old Bay, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper until well combined. Let the salmon marinate for 30 minutes or cook right away.
- Air fry the salmon for 7-8 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Alternatively, you can cook the salmon in a skillet with a bit of olive oil. Meanwhile, mix together the mayo, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha and set aside.
- To assemble the salmon bowls, top the rice with the cooked salmon, avocado, edamame, and sesame seeds, if using. Drizzle over the spicy mayo and serve.
