These Easy Air Fryer Salmon Bowls are ready in 15 minutes! Crunchy salmon, fluffy rice and colorful garnish make a quick, family dinner, everyone will love.
If there is one thing I have learned as a mom is that some meals all bring together. These Airfryer salmon cups are exactly those. They are sweet, salty, a little spicy, and completely customizable-perfect family dinners, where everyone gets to build their own bowl as they like.
We like to use our fryer for this recipe, because salmon cubes prove to be perfect golden and crisp abroad, while remaining tender. But don’t worry if you don’t have one – you can bake salmon in the oven and get just as delicious results.
This has quickly become a go-to home. Kids are running for it, and I like this residue beautifully in school meals the next day. It is comforting, colorful and full of omega-3s-nutrition and taste that work together in the best way.

Prepare the toppings. While the salmon cooks, the cucumber, the cube, the mango, the avocado cut and the Edamame.

Recipe notes + variants
As a dietitian (and a mom), I like meals like this, because they are naturally balanced and can be adapted for different preferences. Here are some ways to make your own:
- Salmon exchange: There is no salmon in hand? Try shrimp, chicken or even tofu cubes with the same seasoning.
- Change the base: Rice is classic, but quinoa, soba noodles, or even cauliflower rice.
- Mix the covers: Mango and cucumber are a refreshing combo, but you can add sliced carrots, edamame Hummus, or grilled vegetables for extra variety.
- Kid -friendly: Serve family style so that children can choose what goes to their bowl. They may surprise you with what they are willing to try when they get to “build it themselves”.
Storage tips
These cups make about 4 generous portions. Store the residues in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Hold the sauce separately until served. The remaining salmon is also wonderful in salads, wraps or sandwiches.
