Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 pound salmon skin removed, diced into 1-inch cubes
- 1 large ripe avocado thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil for salmon
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup light mayo or Japanese Kewpie mayo
- 8 ounces snap peas
- Cooked rice for serving
- 1/4 cup sriracha
- 3 cloves garlic minced or grated
- 1 medium carrot sliced into ribbons or fine shreds
- Furikake or sesame seeds for garnish
- Scallions for garnish
- 1 medium cucumber thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil for spicy mayo
Instructions
- Remove the skin from the salmon and cut it into 1-inch pieces. Place the salmon in a medium bowl, season with kosher salt and pepper, and drizzle with sesame oil; toss gently to coat. Prepare all vegetables and set aside. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and lightly coat the basket with cooking spray or olive oil. Arrange the salmon in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook for 7 minutes, checking once halfway through to ensure the fish does not overcook; the salmon should flake easily with a fork. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, and sesame oil until smooth. To assemble, spoon cooked rice into serving bowls, arrange cucumber, carrot, snap peas, and avocado on top, then add the cooked salmon. Drizzle generously with spicy mayo and sprinkle with scallions and furikake or sesame seeds as desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Monitor the salmon closely as it cooks rapidly in the air fryer and can become dry if overcooked. For slightly medium salmon, check at the halfway point. Cooking times may vary by air fryer model.
