Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or your air fryer to 390°F (195°C).
  2. In a bowl, toss the salmon cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. If baking, spread the salmon in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and slightly crispy.
  4. If air frying, place the salmon in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until cooked through and slightly crispy.
  5. While the salmon cooks, prepare the bang bang sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar until smooth.
  6. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top with the cooked salmon, shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, green onions, and cilantro.
  7. Drizzle the bang bang sauce generously over each bowl.

Notes

  • For a lighter sauce, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
  • You can substitute cauliflower rice for regular rice for a lower-carb option.
  • This recipe is great for meal planning; store components separately and assemble when ready to eat.
