    Air-Fryer Salmon Bowls with Yum Yum Sauce

    How to Make Air-Fryer Salmon Bowls with Yum Yum Sauce

    This dish offers a delightful combination of flaky salmon, fluffy rice, and crisp asparagus, all drizzled with a sweet and savory sauce. The salmon is marinated in a light, flavorful mixture with Splenda U.S. Grown Stevia providing a touch of sweetness, balanced by the warmth of fresh ginger and a tang of pomegranate juice. The Yum Yum Sauce is a creamy and flavorful complement with the base of the bowl built on brown rice or a rice and quinoa mix for added protein and texture.

    Add sesame seeds or sliced avocado for an extra pop of flavor.

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. To make the salmon: Add 1 tsp Splenda Stevia Sweetener, 1/2 tsp ginger, and pomegranate juice to a sealable bag. Add salmon filets, zipping the bag tightly, and gently massage around to make sure all the flavor combines with the salmon filets. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.

    2. Spray the air fryer with non-stick spray and carefully add salmon filets. Cook salmon 400 degrees F for 7–9 minutes, depending on thickness (be careful not to overcook!).

    3. To make the yum yum sauce: Stir together 2 tsp sweetener, 1/2 tsp ginger, and all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Test the sauce to see if it needs any more ginger, garlic, or Splenda Stevia Sweetener and adjust accordingly.

    4. Add a tablespoon of water at a time to thin out the sauce until it is a drizzling consistency. Set aside to let the flavors combine completely.

    5. To assemble the bowl: Spray the inside of the air fryer with non-stick cooking spray. Add asparagus and give them a coating of non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper if desired. Cook in the air fryer at 400 degrees F for 4–5 minutes.

    6. Divide rice between two bowls. Top each with a 3-ounce salmon filet, then lay 4 ounces of the cooked asparagus to the side of the bowl. Sprinkle on green onions. Add sesame seeds and chunks of avocado if desired. Drizzle on yum yum sauce. Enjoy immediately.

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. For the strawberries:
      In a small bowl, add strawberries, 1/4 cup sweetener, and lemon juice. Stir together and set aside for 10 minutes.

    2. For the filling:
      Add cream cheese and 1/2 cup sweetener to a bowl. Beat together until fluffy.

    3. For the French toast: 
      In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla extract, 1/4 cup sweetener, cinnamon, and salt.

    4. To assemble, spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on a slice of bread, keeping about 1/2 inch away from the edge. Add a layer of strawberry slices on top of the cream cheese. Take another piece of bread and spread cream cheese on it. Place it on the strawberries, cream cheese side down. Repeat for the rest, making 6 total strawberry-cream cheese sandwiches.

    5. Spray a nonstick skillet with butter-flavored cooking spray, and heat to medium. Dip one sandwich into egg mixture and turn evenly to coat. Remove and shake off the excess custard mixture, then transfer to the hot skillet.

    6. Cook 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Spray skillet again and repeat for the rest of the French toast sandwiches.

    7. Slice each diagonally and serve immediately! If desired, top with a sugar-free maple syrup and more fresh strawberries. Enjoy!

    10 min prep time


    25 min cook time


    6servings


    1 roll and 2 tablespoons sauce

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. For the sweet chili sauce: Pour water and vinegar into a saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and stir in 1/2 cup sweetener, ketchup, 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, garlic, and chili pepper; reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.

    2. Add cornstarch to a small bowl and mix with 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth. Whisk cornstarch mixture into Sweet Chili Sauce. Bring mixture back to a low boil while stirring, then remove from heat. Pour into a bowl or jar. Sauce will thicken even more as it cools. Refrigerate until serving with the Thai Spring Rolls.

    3. For the Thai Spring Rolls: In a skillet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray and heated to medium, add shredded cabbage, carrots, and green onion. Add 2 tsps. sweetener, soy sauce, and 1/2 tsp. ginger. Sauté just until wilted, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.

    4. Spray your air-fryer with nonstick cooking spray and heat to 390º. While your air fryer is preheating, prepare your Thai Spring Rolls. Lay out a single egg roll wrapper, so it looks like a diamond shape facing you. Scoop about 4 tablespoons of filling into the center of the wrapper. Fold the lower half over the filling, and then pull in the two corners at the same time. Roll it away from you, so it makes a baton-like shape. Take a little water to seal it if needed. Repeat for the rest of the rolls.

    5. Place Thai Spring Rolls into air fryer, 3 at a time, and give them a light coating of cooking spray. Cook for 5 – 7 minutes, turning over halfway through cooking.

    6. Remove and let cool slightly. Repeat for the second batch. Serve alongside Sweet Chili Sauce and enjoy.
