Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Sauce pan (medium)
  • Cutting Board
  • Knives
  • Silicon brush

Ingredients
  

Salmon fillets

  • 5 salmon fillets wild caught
  • ½ lemon juiced
  • 1 Tbsp honey raw, local
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • dash cayenne

Rice

  • 2 cups rice dry, organic
  • 4 cups bone broth can substitute for stock, broth, or water

Toppings

  • 1 cucumber cut into matchsticks
  • 1 carrot cut into matchsticks or shredded
  • ¼ red onion diced
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 5 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 box seaweed 2-4 sheets per person
  • liquid aminos alternative to soy sauce
  • Japanese BBQ sauce

Instructions
 

  • Mix together the 1 Tbsp honey, juice of ½ lemon, salt and pepper to taste, and a dash cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
  • Place your 5 salmon fillets, skin side down, on your rack for the air fryer.
  • Gently brush your sauce mixture over the tops of the salmon.
  • Cook in your air fryer at a temperature of 350° for 15 minutes. It is finished cooking when it flakes easily with a fork or the temperature reaches 145° F.
  • While the salmon is cooking, pour your 4 cups bone broth and 2 cups rice in a medium sauce pan over medium high heat and bring it to a boil. Once it is boiling reduce the heat to medium low heat and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and fluffy. Stir it occasionally so that nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan.
  • While the fish and rice are cooking, take this free time to chop up the 1 cucumber , 1 carrot, ¼ red onion, and 1 avocado.
  • Assemble the sushi bowls by starting with rice, add the salmon fillet, and place the chopped veggies around the fish.
  • Then add the toppings to each bowl: 5 tbsp cream cheese, 1 avocado, 1 box seaweed, liquid aminos, and Japanese BBQ sauce.

Notes

Other toppings to consider:
  • Edamame
  • Green onions
  • Crunchy fried onions
Steps if using an oven instead of an air fryer
  1. Preheat your oven to 450° F.
  2. Coat your dish (glass dish, cast iron, or lined baking sheet) with oil or butter.
  3. Place your fillets skin side down.
  4. Coat the salmon fillets generously with the lemon honey mixture.
  5. Then bake for 12-16 minutes or until the internal temperature is at 145°F.
