Ingredients

Scale

For the Teriyaki Salmon

  • 1 lb salmon fillets, skin removed, cut into 2-inch chunks
  • 3 tablespoons coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 clove fresh garlic, minced)
  • 1 tablespoon honey

For the Spicy Yogurt Sauce

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (0% or any plain yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (such as sriracha)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Pinch of sea salt

For the Bowls

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1/2 cup shelled edamame, cooked
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Cut the salmon into chunks: Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Using a sharp knife, cut the salmon fillets into bite-size 2-inch chunks. Remove the skin if it remains on the fillet before cutting.
  2. Make the marinade: In a small mixing bowl, combine coconut aminos, sesame oil, garlic powder, and honey. Add the salmon pieces and gently toss until each chunk is coated in the marinade. Let the salmon marinate for at least 3 minutes or cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours for more flavor.
  3. Air fry the salmon: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the marinated salmon chunks in a single layer in the basket, spacing pieces about 1 inch apart. Air fry at medium heat (around 375°F or 190°C) for 7 minutes. The exterior will become caramelized and crispy while the inside remains tender. Adjust cook time to 8-9 minutes for medium-well doneness.
  4. Prepare the spicy yogurt sauce: While the salmon cooks, combine the Greek yogurt, hot sauce, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, sesame oil, and sea salt in a small bowl. Stir well until the sauce is smooth and spices are fully incorporated.
  5. Assemble the bowls: Spoon cooked brown rice into the bottom of serving bowls. Top with several air-fried salmon bites, a portion of cooked edamame, and sliced avocado. Drizzle the spicy yogurt sauce over the bowl and optionally spoon a bit of reserved marinade over the salmon for extra flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Substitute soy sauce for coconut aminos if preferred; adjust salt accordingly.
  • Fresh garlic can replace garlic powder for more intense flavor.
  • If air fryer basket is small, cook salmon in batches to maintain spacing for even cooking.
  • Use white rice or quinoa instead of brown rice as a base if desired.
  • Yogurt sauce can be adjusted in spiciness by varying the amount of hot sauce and cayenne.
  • Ensure salmon is cooked to an internal temperature of 140°F for optimal doneness.
