Method

Preparation Steps

Cut fresh salmon into bite-sized cubes and place them in a mixing bowl. Drizzle olive oil and soy sauce over the salmon, sprinkling garlic powder and paprika on top. Toss to coat.
Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C), taking about 5 minutes. Prepare serving bowls by dividing warm, cooked rice among them.
Arrange the seasoned salmon cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and flaky.
Assemble your bowls by surrounding the warm rice with avocado slices, cucumber, and shredded carrots for visual appeal.
Top each rice bowl with crispy salmon bites, sprinkling sesame seeds and green onions on top. Drizzle with your favorite sauce before serving.
