  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  • Arrange the salmon pieces in a single layer in the air fryer. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until cooked through and slightly caramelized.
  • Add jasmine rice to a serving bowl. Top with shredded carrots, edamame, and sliced avocado. Add the cooked salmon and drizzle with the reserved sauce.

Notes

  • Balanced Marinade: Always set aside some of the sauce before adding the salmon so you have a clean, fresh portion to drizzle on top at the end.
  • Quick Chill: Let the salmon marinate for at least 15 minutes so it absorbs lots of flavor without breaking down too much.
  • Air Fryer Timing: Don’t skip preheating your air fryer—it helps the salmon start crisping up right away and prevents sticking.
  • Doneness Check: You’ll know the salmon’s ready when it flakes easily and turns opaque in the center. Keep a close eye toward the end so it doesn’t dry out.
  • Rice Texture: Use freshly cooked or reheated warm rice so it blends well with the toppings and sauce. Cold rice can make the bowl feel flat.
  • Fresh Avocado: Slice the avocado just before serving to keep it from browning and to preserve that creamy bite.
  • Top it Off: Sesame seeds and roasted seaweed add a great contrast in both taste and texture—they’re small additions that make a big difference.
  • Customize it: Swap in what you’ve got—brown rice, cucumbers, or shredded cabbage all work if you want to mix it up a little.
