Bite-size pieces of salmon are coated with Korean chili paste and crispy panko breadcrumbs, then air-fried until the fish is tender and flaky and the coating is crisp and golden. The salmon is served alongside fragrant garlic-ginger scallion rice and a salad of smashed cucumber, radishes, and scallions with spicy-sweet Sriracha and Thai chili dressing. A drizzle of gochujang mayo ties everything together and provides the perfect finishing touch for these Asian-inspired bowls.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Cook Rice
1
  • Wash and dry produce.

  • In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until tender, 15-20 minutes.

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Prep Salmon
2
  • While rice cooks, pat salmon* dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, slowly cut between flesh and skin ½ inch at a time, being careful not to cut into flesh, until skin is fully removed from fish; discard skin. Cut salmon into ½-inch chunks.

  • In a medium bowl, toss salmon with two packets of gochujang (four packets for 4 servings), a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

  • Add panko and stir until salmon is coated.

Air-Fry Salmon
3
  • Coat an air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray; arrange salmon in basket.

  • Air-fry at 390 degrees until salmon begins to turn opaque and is lightly browned, 6-8 minutes. (For 4 servings, work in batches if necessary.)

Prep
4
  • Meanwhile, trim and halve cucumber lengthwise. Place under a plate; press down until cucumber halves break open. Chop into ½-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice radishes. Trim and thinly slice scallions.

  • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, remaining gochujang, and 1 tsp water (2 tsp for 4 servings).

Make Cucumber Salad
5
  • In a second medium bowl, whisk together chili sauce, Sriracha, a drizzle of olive oil (large drizzle for 4 servings), salt, and pepper.

  • Add cucumber, radishes, and scallions and toss to coat. 

Finish & Serve
6
  • Fluff rice with a fork; stir in garlic-ginger scallion paste.

  • Divide rice, salmon, and salad between shallow bowls in separate sections. Drizzle with gochujang mayo and serve.
