Ingredients
The Salmon
- 1 lb salmon skin removed and cut into bite-sized cubes
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp Kinder's Avocado Lime Seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
The Pineapple Salsa
- 1 cup fresh pineapple finely diced
- 1/4 cup red onion finely diced
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
The Bowls
- 2 packages Uncle Ben's Ready Rice Coconut Jasmine Rice
- 1 cucumber sliced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- Homemade or store-bought tzatziki sauce for serving
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the salmon cubes with the lime juice, honey, soy sauce, Kinder's Avocado Lime Seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss until every piece is evenly coated. Let marinate for 10 to 15 minutes while you prepare the other components.
- In a small bowl, stir together the diced pineapple, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Arrange the marinated salmon in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 380°F for 9 minutes until cooked through and lightly caramelized around the edges.
- Heat the coconut jasmine rice according to package directions.
- Divide the rice between bowls. Top with sliced cucumber, shredded carrots, and the cooked salmon. Spoon the pineapple salsa generously over the salmon. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and serve immediately.
Notes
Do not marinate the salmon longer than 15 minutes. The acid in the lime juice will begin to break down the texture of the fish beyond that point.
The coconut jasmine rice is what makes this bowl feel specifically tropical and summery. Do not substitute plain white rice if you can help it.
Air fry the salmon in a single layer with space between each piece. Crowding prevents caramelization and produces steamed rather than slightly charred salmon cubes.
The pineapple salsa is better after 10 minutes of resting. Make it first and let it sit while everything else comes together.
