Air Fryer Miso Glazed Salmon Bowls with Spicy Mayo
This dish is ideal for busy weeknight dinners or special occasions. The ingredients are fresh and delicious and pair together perfectly. The salmon filets take center stage, cut into bite size pieces and generously coated in a luscious miso glaze. The air fryer works its magic, creating a caramelized, umami-infused crust while keeping the salmon tender and flaky.
Placed atop a fluffy bed of rice, the salmon can be accompanied by a vibrant array of sides to add flavor and texture. Green onion adds a mild, fresh, and slightly oniony flavor. Avocado is perfect for a creamy buttery addition to the dish. Cucumber and edamame adds a subtle sweetness and crunch. Nori adds a pleasant umami flavor and pickled radish adds a colorful tangy crunch. Everything comes together for a colorful and harmonious bowl brimming with flavor.
Finally, what truly elevates this dish is the spicy mayo. Creamy, zesty, and packing a punch of heat, it's the perfect complement to the sweet notes of the miso glaze. I strongly suggest using Kewpie Japanese mayo. You will get the best consistency and flavor. Drizzled over the salmon and veggies to make every bite delicious.
