Instructions
- Prepare the rice - Cook the rice or use the package instructions. You’ll need about 1 1/3 cups of Jasmine rice to yield 4 cups of cooked rice.
- Season Salmon - Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel, remove the skin if desired, and cut into 1 to 1 1/2-inch cubes. Transfer to a mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil and sesame oil. In a small bowl, stir together the seasonings: garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and onion powder. Sprinkle over the salmon and toss gently until evenly coated.
- Cook Salmon - Arrange salmon pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket - cook in batches if needed. Air fry at 400˚F for 7 to 9 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking. *See notes for cooking salmon on the stovetop or in the oven.
- Make the Sauce - In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, sriracha, and honey until smooth. Add more heat or sweetness to taste if desired.
- Assemble the Bowls - Divide the warm rice between 4 bowls. Top with salmon, cucumber, avocado, and edamame if using. Drizzle generously with the salmon sauce (*see nutrition label note for sauce) and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
