Ingredients

For the Salmon:

  • 2 salmon filets Atlantic, King, or Sockeye
  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos or soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp sea salt

For the Spicy Yogurt Sauce:

  • ¼ cup plain yogurt 0% Greek or your preferred type
  • 1 tsp hot sauce
  • ½ tsp chipotle powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • For the Bowl Base:
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • ½ cup cooked edamame
  • ½ avocado sliced

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Salmon

  • Start by patting the salmon filets dry with a paper towel. This removes excess moisture and helps create that perfect crispy finish. If needed, use a sharp knife to remove the skin. Then, cut the salmon into 2-inch cubes.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the coconut aminos, sesame oil, honey, garlic powder, and sea salt. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the marinade in a separate bowl for drizzling later.
  • Add the salmon cubes to the marinade and gently toss to coat. Let them sit for at least 3 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 2: Air Fry the Salmon

  • Place the marinated salmon cubes in the air fryer basket, making sure they’re spaced out for even cooking. Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and cook for 7 minutes. The edges will crisp up beautifully, and the marinade will caramelize to perfection.
  • Pro tip: No air fryer? You can bake at 425°F for about 10–12 minutes or pan-sear until golden.

Step 3: Make the Spicy Yogurt Sauce

  • While the salmon is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, hot sauce, chipotle powder, paprika, and olive oil. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  • This sauce is spicy, tangy, and cool—perfect for balancing the sweet-savory salmon.

Step 4: Assemble the Bowls

  • Start with 1 cup of cooked brown rice in each bowl. Top with a few crispy salmon bites, a scoop of edamame, and sliced avocado. Drizzle with the reserved teriyaki marinade and a generous spoonful of spicy yogurt sauce.
