Method
Step 1
Marinate the salmon: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and seasonings. Add salmon cubes and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Step 2
Cook the salmon: Air fry at 400°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through and brushing with extra sauce if desired. Alternatively, pan-sear over medium heat until cooked through and caramelized.
Step 3
Make the cucumber salad: Pat sliced cucumbers dry with a paper towel. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, honey, chili crunch, and spices. Add cucumbers and toss well. Let sit while the salmon cooks.
Step 4
Prepare the rice: Rinse rice and cook with water until fluffy. Stir in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt once cooked.
Step 5
Assemble: Scoop rice into bowls. Top with salmon bites and cucumber salad. Add green onion, furikake, seaweed snacks, and a drizzle of sriracha mayo if using. Enjoy!
