Air Fryer Salmon Bites with Honey Chili Crunch

• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 20 minutes
• total time: 28 minutes

Ingredients

3 tablespoons chili crunch (we’ve tried the Momofuku brand and Trader Joe’s)

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 ½ lbs. raw salmon (deboned and skin removed)

1 ½ tablespoons avocado oil

4 cups shelled, raw edamame

8-10 green onions (sliced diagonally)

3 teaspoons sesame oil

1 ½ tablespoons rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sea salt

3 teaspoons black or white sesame seeds

Squeeze of fresh lime juice

2 large avocados (cubed or quartered)

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

4 cups cooked rice

Kewpie Mayo (for topping)

Directions

Preheat the air fryer to 400ºF.

Add the chili crunch, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and salt to a large bowl and whisk the ingredients together.

Next, slice the salmon into 1-1.5 inch cubes and transfer them to the bowl. Toss the salmon with the sauce until coated.

Oil the bottom of the air fryer and transfer the salmon into the air fryer. Do not layer the salmon. If the air fryer is not large enough to fit all of the salmon, cook the salmon in batches. Drizzle 1.5 tablespoons of avocado oil over the salmon.

Cook the salmon for 6-8 minutes or until the outside of the salmon starts to brown and the internal temperature reaches 145ºF (per the USDA guidelines).

While the salmon is cooking, add the edamame, green onions, sesame oil, rice vinegar, salt, sesame seeds, and lime juice to a bowl and mix. Set aside.

Remove the salmon from the air fryer and set aside.

Assemble the bowls. Serve the salmon and edamame over white rice and top with avocado, fresh cilantro, and extra chili crunch if you’re feeling sassy.
