<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>Right, let's start by getting your rice sorted first - cook your jasmine rice according to package instructions and keep it warm. While that's bubbling away, pat your salmon fillets completely dry with kitchen paper, then brush each piece lightly with olive oil. This helps the seasoning stick beautifully.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>Now for the seasoning magic - mix together paprika, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl, then sprinkle this evenly over both sides of your salmon fillets. Give them a gentle pat to help the spices adhere properly.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>Preheat your air fryer to 200°C for 3 minutes. While it's heating up, prepare your gorgeous sauce by whisking together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a small bowl until completely smooth and glossy.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>Place the seasoned salmon fillets in your air fryer basket, making sure they're not touching each other - they need breathing room for that perfect crispy exterior. Cook for 10-12 minutes, depending on thickness, until the internal temperature reaches 63°C and the fish flakes easily with a fork.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>Meanwhile, prepare your fresh vegetables. Bring a small pot of salted water to boil, add the frozen edamame and cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>Assembly time! Divide your warm rice between four bowls, creating a lovely base. Carefully break the air-fried salmon into chunky flakes and arrange over one section of each bowl.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>Now arrange your beautiful vegetables in separate sections around the bowl - the bright green edamame, vibrant orange carrot julienne, and purple cabbage create a stunning rainbow effect. Drizzle that magnificent sauce generously over everything, then finish with a sprinkle of black sesame seeds and fresh spring onions.</li></ol>
FAQ for
Air Fryer Salmon Bowl Recipe

How long does it take to cook salmon in an air fryer?

Cook salmon in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes at 200°C (400°F), depending on thickness. The fish is done when it reaches 63°C internal temperature and flakes easily with a fork.

Can you cook frozen salmon fillets in an air fryer?

Yes, but thaw frozen salmon completely first and pat dry. Frozen fillets will take 2-3 minutes longer to cook and won't achieve the same crispy exterior as fresh salmon.

What size air fryer do I need for salmon bowls?

You'll need a minimum 3.5-liter air fryer capacity to cook 4 salmon fillets without overcrowding. Cook in batches if your air fryer is smaller to ensure even cooking.

Do you need to flip salmon when air frying?

No flipping required! Air fryers circulate hot air around the food, so salmon cooks evenly on both sides. Flipping can actually break delicate fish fillets and isn't necessary.

How do you keep salmon from sticking to the air fryer basket?

Brush salmon lightly with olive oil before seasoning, and preheat the air fryer for 3 minutes. The oil creates a barrier while preheating ensures immediate searing to prevent sticking.
