Air Fryer Salmon Bites

Step 1

Season the salmon with salt, black pepper, garlic powder and ground ginger.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, honey, sesame oil and Sriracha until combined. Pour a little more than half of the sauce over the salmon. Toss salmon to coat and allow to marinate for 20-30 minutes. Add the vinegar to the remaining sauce and set aside for topping the cooked salmon later.

Step 3

Air Fryer Method: If your air fryer requires preheating, preheat to 390F. Spray the air fryer basket with oil spray. Working in batches as needed, place seasoned salmon bites on the basket in a single layer, making sure there is no overlapping. Air fry for 6-8 minutes (or more as needed depending on your air fryer), flipping the salmon bites (or shaking the basket) halfway through, until the salmon is crispy and golden (with some pieces with a light char).

Step 4

Oven Method: Preheat the oven to 415 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the seasoned salmon bites on the baking sheet in a single layer, making sure there is no overlapping. Spray the salmon with a little bit of oil spray if desired (helps them crisp up). Cook for 10-12 minutes (or more as needed) until the salmon is crispy and golden (with some pieces with a light char) flipping halfway through and spraying the other side with oil spray. Turn the oven setting to broil at the end, and broil for 2-3 minutes to give the salmon a light char, if desired.

Step 5

Transfer the salmon bites to a bowl. Whisk the reserved sauce once more to combine, if needed, then drizzle over the salmon bites. Sprinkle salmon bites with a little bit of green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 6

When ready to serve, assemble the rice bowl by adding some rice, then top with a few pieces of salmon, along with edamame, avocado, cucumber and green onions. Top with another small sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired.
