1 Salad bowl

Ingredients

Firecracker Salmon

½ a large salmon or 4-5 fillets
⅓ cup of sriracha
1 tablespoon soy sauce
½ tablespoon brown sugar
3 cloves of garlic crushed or grated
1 tablespoon of ginger grated
2 teaspoon of chilli flakes
Salt to taste
Paprika to taste
2 tablespoon of olive oil

Salad

150 g or 4 cups of green leaves
1.5 cups of white cabbage shredded
2 cups of carrot shredded or julienned
1 cup of red pepper sliced
4 radish sliced
1 avocado sliced
2 cups of edamame
4 or ¼ cup of green onions sliced
1 tablespoon of sesame seeds

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together sriracha, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, chili flakes, salt, paprika and oil. Set aside ¼ cup of the sauce for serving later.
Cut the salmon fillets into equal-sized pieces and pat them dry with paper towels. Brush the sauce generously over both sides of each piece. If you have time, marinate the salmon in a bowl covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to an hour.
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C/400°F and line the basket with parchment paper or foil. Grease lightly with oil to prevent sticking. Arrange the salmon pieces in a single layer in the basket and cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, toss together the mixed greens, cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, radishes, avocado, green onions and edamame. Season with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle some olive oil over the salad if desired.
To serve, add salmon slices on top of the salad, sprinkle sesame seeds over the salmon and drizzle with the reserved sauce or serve it in a pot. Enjoy!

Notes

Salmon: If you don’t have an air fryer bake or fry the salmon instead. To bake it in the oven, preheat your oven to 200C/400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Place the salmon on the prepared sheet and bake it for 10 to 12 minutes or until it’s flaky and tender. To fry it in a pan, heat some oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the salmon for 7 to 10 minutes, turning once, or until it’s golden and cooked through. No matter how you cook it, salmon is a versatile and satisfying meal that you can enjoy with your favorite sides and sauces. Do not overcook the salmon as this will result give the fish a dry texture.

Marinate: If you have extra time, marinate the salmon. It intensifies the flavor and gives it a beautiful color. However, if you are in a hurry feel free to skip this step. The salmon will still be flavorful.
