Ingredients
  

For the Salmon

  • 16 oz salmon filets skin removed and cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tbsp Lemon Pepper Seasoning
  • 1 lemon freshly squeezed

For Serving

  • 4 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 cup edamame shelled, cooked, and salted
  • 1 cup pickled cucumbers thinly sliced (link to recipe)
  • 1 cup carrot cut into matchsticks

For Garnish

  • Sesame seeds and sliced green onions

Instructions
 

Prep the Marinade

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, lemon pepper seasoning, garlic powder, and lemon juice until combined.

Marinate the Salmon

  • Add the cubed salmon to the bowl and toss gently until each piece is evenly coated. Let it marinate for 10–15 minutes.

Air Fry the Salmon

  • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil, then arrange the salmon cubes in a single layer (work in batches if needed).
  • Air fry at 390°F for 7 to 9 minutes, or until carmelized and cooked all the way through.

Make the glaze

  • Take the remaining marinade and cook on the stove top under low heat until bubbly and caramelized.

Assemble the Bowls

  • Add cooked rice to your bowl and top with air-fried salmon bites, pickled cucumber, carrots, and edamame. Drizzle additional glaze over the bowl.
  • Finish with sesame seeds and green onions.
