Ingredients
For the Salmon:
- 2 pounds salmon skin removed
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika I used sweet paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Remaining Ingredients:
- 3 cups cooked rice white, brown, purple, black, etc.
- 2 mangos pitted, peeled and chopped
- 1 large avocado pitted, peeled and sliced or chopped
- ½ English cucumber sliced
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 lime cut into 4 wedges
- hot honey optional, for drizzling
Instructions
Cook Salmon
- Cut the salmon into 1-inch cubes. Place in a large mixing bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon in the mixing bowl and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle the seasonings evenly over the salmon, a little bit at a time, tossing gently to evenly coat the fish with the seasonings.
- To Air Fry Salmon: Preheat air fryer to 380° F. Place salmon pieces in a single layer in the air fryer with a little space between them (work in batches as needed). Air fry at 380° F for 6-7 minutes, until salmon is cooked to your liking. (You do not need to flip the salmon during the cook time.)
- To Bake Salmon: Preheat oven to 400° F. Place seasoned salmon pieces on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 6-7 minutes, or until salmon is almost cooked through. Remove pan from the oven and carefully slide the salmon bites off of the parchment paper and onto the baking sheet. Broil for 2 minutes (watch carefully so it doesn't burn), until slightly crisped and cooked through.
Assemble Bowls
- Divide rice between 4 bowls. Divide the salmon pieces, chopped mango, avocado, cucumber and cilantro between the bowls. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over the bowls and a drizzle of hot honey, if desired.
Notes
- Spice level: The seasoning rub has a little spice to it. You can tone it down for those sensitive to spice by reducing or omitting the chili powder. Skip the hot honey drizzle for those sensitive to spice.
