Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 2 salmon filets (Atlantic, King, or Sockeye)
- ½ cup cooked edamame
Sauce and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon chipotle powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- ¼ cup plain yogurt (0% Greek or any type)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Base and Garnish:
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- ½ avocado
Instructions
- Thoroughly pat salmon fillets dry using a clean paper towel, carefully removing the skin if present. Slice the salmon into uniform 2-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
- Create a vibrant marinade by whisking together coconut aminos, sesame oil, honey, garlic powder, and sea salt in a mixing bowl. Set aside of the marinade for later use.
- Gently coat the salmon cubes in the prepared marinade, allowing them to absorb the flavors for precisely 3 minutes at room temperature.
- Arrange the marinated salmon pieces in the air fryer basket, maintaining adequate spacing between each cube to promote even heat circulation. Cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius) for 7 minutes until the salmon is perfectly golden and flaky.
- Meanwhile, craft a zesty spicy yogurt sauce by blending plain yogurt, hot sauce, chipotle powder, paprika, and a drizzle of olive oil until smooth and well-combined.
- Construct the teriyaki salmon bowls by layering cooked brown rice as the base. Carefully place the air-fried salmon bites on top, then artfully arrange edamame and creamy avocado slices around the protein.
- Finish the bowl by drizzling the reserved marinade over the salmon and generously adding the spicy yogurt sauce for an extra flavor dimension.
Notes
- Quickly pat salmon dry to ensure crisp, caramelized edges when air frying.
- Marinate salmon briefly for maximum flavor absorption without breaking down delicate proteins.
- Space salmon cubes evenly in air fryer basket to guarantee even cooking and perfect texture.
- Customize heat level of yogurt sauce by adjusting hot sauce quantity to personal preference.
- Prepare all ingredients beforehand for smooth, efficient bowl assembly.
- Drizzle reserved marinade over finished bowl for an extra burst of teriyaki flavor.
