Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs skinless salmon, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp kosher salt
0.5 tsp black pepper
Avocado oil spray
0.33 cup light mayonnaise
2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
1.5 cups cooked sticky rice
1.5 cups steamed cauliflower rice
0.5 cup shredded carrots
0.5 cup shredded purple cabbage
0.5 cup shelled edamame
1 avocado, sliced
Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
In a bowl, toss the salmon pieces with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with avocado oil and arrange the salmon in a single layer.
Air fry for 7-9 minutes until the salmon is crispy and cooked through.
Whisk together the mayonnaise and sweet chili sauce in a small bowl until smooth.
Toss the cooked salmon in the Bang Bang sauce until well coated.
In serving bowls, combine equal parts sticky rice and cauliflower rice.
Top the rice base with the Bang Bang salmon, shredded carrots, purple cabbage, edamame, and avocado slices.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure salmon pieces are uniform in size to ensure even air frying. You can prep the rice, sauce, and vegetables in advance to make assembly even faster. For an extra kick, add a drizzle of sriracha to the sauce.
