    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    • Quick and easy - it takes about 30 minutes to make!
    • Minimal prep time
    • Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free
    • Nutrient dense
    • Versatile - switch up the vegetables and sides!

    🍴Ingredient Notes

    Ingredients for air fried salmon bowls.
    • Salmon - Skinless salmon is the easiest to work with, but you can also remove the skin yourself with a sharp knife.
    • Teriyaki Sauce - I used Primal Kitchen Thick n' Sticky Teriyaki Sauce. I love that it's made with simple ingredients, soy-free, and Paleo friendly! Any teriyaki sauce will work with this recipe.
    • Broccoli Florets - You can purchase broccoli florets to save on prep time or buy a head of broccoli and cut it yourself.
    • Cooked Rice - Any rice will work with this recipe! Brown Rice, Basmati Rice, and Jasmine Rice are all great choices.
    • Garnish - Thinly sliced green onion and extra sesame seeds are great for garnish.

    Air Fryer Options

    I actually have two styles of air fryers and recommend both depending on what fits best with your lifestyle.

    Air Fryer with Sheet Pan

    The first type of air fryer I have is what is shown in this post - the Ninja Foodi Air Fryer Oven. This appliance is bigger and sits on my kitchen counter.

    It looks more like a mini oven than an air fryer! You can use a baking tray or the metal basket. (It comes with both.) This oven can air fry, toast, bake, or dehydrate and flips up to save on counter space when it's not in use. (I use it as an air fryer and toaster the most.)

    Air Fryer with Basket

    The second type of air fryer I have is a basket style air fryer. This air fryer is portable and can be stored in a pantry or cabinet. Both styles can be used with this recipe!

    🍴Step by Step Instructions

    Step 1: Marinate Salmon

    Start by cutting the skinless salmon filets into 2-inch pieces. Add to a large bowl with the teriyaki sauce and stir until they're completely coated in the sauce.

    Step 2: Air Fry Salmon

    Add the marinated salmon onto a parchment paper lined tray or directly into a greased air fryer. Air fry at 375 degrees for 7-8 minutes.

    Step 3: Steam Broccoli

    To steam the broccoli, add broccoli florets into a saucepan with about 1 inch of water. Cover the pot and let simmer until broccoli is fork tender.

    Step 4: Assemble Rice Bowls

    Assemble the bowls by adding rice, steamed broccoli, air fried salmon bites, and top with an extra drizzle of teriyaki sauce. For garnish add sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onion!

    Expert Tips

    • Speaking from experience, it's much easier to prepare the salmon when you buy it without the skin. You can remove the skin yourself, but you'll need a sharp knife and patience.
    • Use a paper towel to pat dry the salmon before marinating.
    • Marinate the salmon the night before or the morning of to achieve maximum flavor!
    • Do not overcook the salmon or it will dry out! It does not take long to cook salmon when it's cut into small cubes.
    • Make sure you cut the salmon bites into similar size bites so they cook evenly in the air fryer.
    • If you use a baking tray, line it with parchment paper to keep the salmon from sticking. If you use a basket style air fryer, spray with a nonstick oil like avocado oil or coconut oil.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can you bake salmon instead of air frying?

    Yes, follow the same instructions and bake at 400 degrees for about 6-8 minutes.

    Can I use frozen salmon?

    Yes! Defrost the frozen salmon in the refrigerator overnight to thaw.

    Can I cook salmon on the stovetop?

    Yes, use a non-stick skillet or cast-iron skillet. Cook on a medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
