Ingredients

Salmon:

  • 1 lb Salmon skin removed
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Teriyaki sauce:

  • ½ c Brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 1/4 c Soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Ginger minced or grated
  • ½ tsp Sesame oil
  • 2 tsp Garlic minced or grated
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 2 tsp water

Topping:

  • Pickled onion
  • Pickled cucumber
  • Edamame
  • Scallions

Instructions

  • Cut the salmon into bite size pieces. Place in a bowl and add all the seasonings, garlic and sesame oil. Toss together until each salmon bite is well coated.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees. Once done, spray the basket lightly with cooking spray if you have or brush with oil.
  • Place the salmon bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer, don’t overcrowd. Air fry the salmon bites for 8 minutes on 400, shaking the basket halfway through, until the salmon is cooked through and crispy on the edges.
  • While the salmon is cooking, in a small sauce pan over medium heat, add all of the ingredients for the teriyaki sauce, except for the cornstarch and water. Mix together the cornstarch and water in a small ramekin and then pour into the sauce pan.
  • Whisk to combine and let simmer until the sauce is thickened. Stirring occasionally, this should take about 5 minutes or less.
  • In a separate bowl, toss together the cooked salmon with the teriyaki sauce.
  • To assemble the bowls, add cooked rice, then your toppings of choice. Then the salmon and drizzle any remaining sauce on top. I like to finish off with chopped scallions.

Notes

Taste the sauce as it thickens, if you want it sweeter add a tablespoon more of brown sugar.
