Easy to make: I’m always on the lookout for simple recipes that don’t take much effort, and this salmon bowl is one of my favourites. You can air fry or pan fry the salmon, and it only needs about 15 minutes to marinate. To make things even easier, toss the ingredients together in the morning, cover them with plastic wrap, and store them in the fridge. By the time dinner rolls around, the salmon cooks up in less than 10 minutes.
Versatile: This bowl is so flexible and can be customized to fit your taste. Swap the rice for cauliflower rice or even a bed of shredded lettuce. Add edamame, broccoli, or any vegetables you have on hand to make it even more filling.
Perfect for meal prep: The recipe makes about 2 to 3 servings, but you can easily double or triple it to feed a crowd or prep lunches for the week.
Ingredients
- Salmon: Rinse the salmon and cut it into 1 inch cubes so you get perfect bite sized pieces.
- Soy sauce: I use low sodium soy sauce, but if you’re using regular soy sauce, reduce the amount by half or add it to taste. You can also substitute with coconut aminos.
- Sesame oil: Any sesame oil will work here and adds great depth of flavor.
- Honey: Honey works beautifully in this recipe, but maple syrup or coconut sugar are great alternatives.
- Sriracha: For heat, use sriracha or sambal oelek. If you don’t have either, paprika or chili flakes work as a mild substitute.
- Garlic powder: Garlic powder keeps things quick and easy, but freshly grated garlic works just as well.
- Parsley: You can use dried parsley or freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
- Cornstarch: Cornstarch helps thicken the sauce and coats the salmon, giving it a glossy finish once cooked.
Instructions
Step 1 (Marinate): In a bowl, add the salmon, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, garlic powder, dried parsley, and cornstarch. Mix well until the salmon is evenly coated. Set aside to marinate for about 30 minutes.
Step 2 (Cook Salmon): Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and drizzle in oil. Add the salmon bites in a single, even layer and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and lightly caramelized.
Step 3 (Make Sauce): To make the sauce, whisk together the Kewpie mayo, chilli crisp oil, and lime juice until smooth.
Step 4 (Assemble Bowl): To assemble the bowls, start with a layer of rice, top with the salmon bites, cucumbers, and carrots, then drizzle the sauce over the bowl and finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Glazed Salmon Bites Bowl FAQ
Can I air fry the salmon bites?
Yes. I love air frying the salmon bites when I’m short on time. Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper, then air fry the salmon at 400°F for 12 to 15 minutes, or until fully cooked and lightly crisp on the outside.
Do I need to marinate the salmon bites ahead of time?
I usually marinate the salmon bites for about 30 minutes, but you can also marinate them the day before for a deeper flavour. If you’re really short on time, you can simply mix all the ingredients and cook the salmon right away.
