Ingredients

Scale

Salmon and Marinade

  • 4 filets salmon (Atlantic, King, or Sockeye)
  • 4 Tbsp coconut aminos
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp sea salt

Spicy Yogurt Sauce

  • ¼ cup plain yogurt (0% Greek yogurt recommended)
  • 1 tsp hot sauce
  • ½ tsp chipotle powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Bowls and Garnish

  • 3 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 cup cooked edamame
  • 1 avocado, sliced

Instructions

  1. Cube the Salmon: Pat your salmon filets dry with a paper towel to make them easier to handle. Remove the skin if necessary using a sharp knife, then cut the salmon into 2-inch cubes.
  2. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, sesame oil, honey, garlic powder, and sea salt. Reserve one tablespoon of this marinade in a separate small bowl for drizzling later.
  3. Marinate Salmon Cubes: Add the salmon cubes to the marinade and gently toss to coat all pieces evenly. Let the salmon marinate for at least 3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  4. Cook the Salmon: Place the marinated salmon cubes in a single layer in the bottom of an air fryer basket, leaving space between each cube. Air fry at 400°F (204°C) for 7 minutes until edges become crispy and the marinade caramelizes.
  5. Make the Spicy Yogurt Sauce: While the salmon cooks, combine the plain yogurt, hot sauce, chipotle powder, paprika, and olive oil in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and well blended.
  6. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked brown rice evenly into bowls. Top each with fried salmon cubes, a portion of edamame, and sliced avocado. Drizzle the reserved marinade over the salmon, then generously drizzle the spicy yogurt sauce over the entire bowl for a creamy, spicy finish.

Notes

  • Any type of yogurt can be used for the spicy yogurt sauce; Greek yogurt provides creaminess and added protein.
  • For skinless salmon, removing the skin before cubing helps with even cooking and ease of eating.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, the salmon can be cooked in an oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes until caramelized and cooked through.
  • Adjust hot sauce amount in the yogurt sauce to your preferred spice level.
  • Brown rice can be substituted with white rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for different textures or dietary needs.
