Ingredients
Scale
For the Salmon
- 2 salmon fillets
- Olive oil or cooking spray (for air fryer basket)
- 3½ tbsp sriracha (divided)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- ½ tsp salt
For the Bowl
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 jalapeño, sliced
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 mango, chopped
For the Spicy Mayo
- ½ cup light mayonnaise
- 1 tsp minced garlic
For Garnish
- ½ tbsp sesame seeds
- Green onion, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon Rub: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of sriracha, brown sugar, and salt to create a spicy-sweet rub. Rub this mixture generously all over the salmon fillets. Allow the salmon to rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil the basket with olive oil or spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking during cooking.
- Cook the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness and preferred doneness, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. If you don’t have an air fryer, bake the salmon in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 12–15 minutes.
- Make the Spicy Mayo: While the salmon is cooking, mix the remaining 1½ tablespoons of sriracha with the minced garlic and light mayonnaise in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Assemble the Bowl: Begin with a base of cooked rice in a bowl. Layer the cooked salmon on top.
- Add Toppings and Sauce: Drizzle the spicy mayo over the salmon and rice, then add sliced jalapeños, cucumber, shredded carrots, and chopped mango for freshness and crunch.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish by sprinkling sesame seeds and chopped green onion on top. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, spicy, and sweet flavors in every bite.
Notes
- You can substitute the air fryer method with baking if needed, adjusting cooking times accordingly.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spice level according to your preference.
- Use fresh, ripe mango for the best balance of sweetness.
- Leftover salmon can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently to avoid drying out.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure the sriracha sauce and soy sauces (if added) are certified gluten-free.
