Method
Prepare the Base
- Rinse jasmine rice thoroughly under cold water. Combine rice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until all water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Cook the Salmon
- While rice is cooking, pat salmon cubes very dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, toss salmon cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes. Arrange salmon in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd (cook in batches if necessary). Air fry for 8-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until salmon is cooked through and crispy on the edges.
Make the Sauce & Assemble
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, fresh lime juice, and optional honey/maple syrup until smooth. Taste and adjust sriracha to your preferred spice level.
- Divide the cooked jasmine rice between two serving bowls. Arrange the crispy air-fried salmon over the rice. Add diced cucumber, cooked edamame, and diced avocado to each bowl.
- Drizzle generously with the prepared sriracha mayo. Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy salmon bowls!
Notes
For extra crispiness, ensure salmon is patted very dry before seasoning. Feel free to customize your bowls with other veggies like shredded carrots, bell peppers, or kimchi. Leftover salmon and rice can be stored separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat salmon gently in the air fryer for best texture.
