Keep it tender
Cook seafood only until it turns opaque and flakes easily; a little residual heat will finish it without drying it out.

Air fry the marinated salmon at 200°C (390°F) for 7–10 minutes, or until cooked through and slightly crispy at the edges.
- 03
Cook the wholegrain rice according to the package instructions. Fluff with a fork and let cool slightly.
- 04
While the salmon and rice are cooking, prep your veggies: slice the cucumber, cut carrots into matchsticks, steam the edamame, and slice the avocado.

Divide the rice into two bowls. Top each with the cooked salmon, veggies, avocado, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
- 06
Drizzle sriracha mayo over the top and enjoy immediately\!
