Ingredients
  

  • #### For the Teriyaki Salmon Bites
  • - 2 salmon fillets about 6 oz each, skin removed and cut into bite-sized cubes
  • - 3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce store-bought or homemade
  • - 1 tablespoon olive oil optional, for extra crispiness
  • - 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil optional, for flavor
  • - Salt and pepper to taste
  • #### For the Rice Bowl
  • - 1 cup cooked jasmine rice or rice of choice
  • - 1/2 cup edamame cooked
  • - 1/2 cucumber sliced thinly
  • - 1 small carrot julienned
  • - 2 tablespoons sliced green onions optional
  • - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds optional

Instructions
 

  • **Prepare the Teriyaki Salmon Bites**
  • In a small bowl, mix the teriyaki sauce with sesame oil (if using), olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the salmon cubes to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the marinade. Let the salmon marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  • **Cook the Rice**
  • While the salmon is marinating, cook your rice according to package instructions. You can use a rice cooker or cook it on the stovetop. Once done, fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.
  • **Air Fry the Salmon Bites**
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray or a bit of olive oil. Arrange the marinated salmon bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry the salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The salmon should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • **Assemble the Rice Bowl**
  • Once the salmon is cooked, it’s time to assemble your rice bowl. Start by adding a serving of cooked rice to each bowl. Top the rice with the air fried teriyaki salmon bites. Add the edamame, cucumber slices, and julienned carrots to the bowl. Garnish with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, or extra teriyaki sauce if desired.
  • **Serve**
  • Serve the rice bowls immediately while the salmon is warm. Enjoy the crispy, flavorful salmon with the fresh and crunchy vegetables.
