Ingredients
  

Salmon

  • 2 salmon fillets skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes (4–6 oz each)

Marinade & Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon flakey sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Bowl

  • 2 bags frozen cauliflower rice about 200 g / 2 cups once water is removed
  • 3 oz Tenderstem broccoli about 80 g
  • 2 oz green beans about 60 g
  • ½ avocado sliced (about 90 g)
  • ⅓ cup cucumber sliced (about 60 g)
  • ½ yellow pepper sliced (about 50 g)

To Serve

  • 2 spring onions sliced (about 15 g)
  • 1 tablespoon coriander cilantro, finely chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon sesame seeds black or white
  • ¼ cup sugar-free pickled onions optional
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise for drizzling optional

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lime juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
  • Pat the salmon cubes dry with kitchen paper and toss them with half of the dressing.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 180°C / 350°F. Place the salmon in the air fryer basket and cook for 6 minutes.
  • Lightly spray the broccoli and green beans with oil and add them to the air fryer. Cook for another 2 minutes until the salmon is lightly crispy and the vegetables remain slightly tender.
  • While the salmon cooks, microwave the cauliflower rice on high for 4 minutes, or steam it. Let it cool slightly, then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean cloth or towel. Optionally mix it with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
  • Assemble the Salmon Bowls by placing cauliflower rice in the base of each bowl. Arrange the salmon, broccoli, green beans, cucumber, yellow pepper, and avocado on top.
  • Sprinkle with spring onions, coriander, and sesame seeds. Drizzle with the remaining dressing. Add pickled onions and mayonnaise if desired.

Notes

These Salmon Bowls are very versatile. Feel free to add shredded carrots, edamame, or leafy greens for extra color and nutrition. If you prefer a spicier version, add a little chili flakes or a drizzle of spicy mayo.
