Salmon Buddha Bowl
This savory salmon bowl has delicious sweet and spicy seasoned salmon that is air fried and served over cilantro lime rice with zesty homemade mango salsa and black beans. It comes together in under 20 minutes and is a perfect weeknight meal the whole family will love!
Pick up mango, avocado, rice, and salmon on sale at Safeway to make this delicious bowl for dinner this week. It’s easy to make, easy on the wallet and so delicious, you will have this one on repeat!
You can use any grain for the bowl – so if you don’t like rice, you can use quinoa, you can also use lower-carb protein-packed rice like Right Rice for the bowl, or skip the rice and go with a riced cauliflower instead for a low carb option.
This seasoning blend for the salmon and air frying it is my favorite way to make salmon lately because it is so easy! No smelly house, no splattered grease, amazing flavor, perfectly cooked salmon in just 10 minutes!

How to Make a Salmon Bowl
Prepare the rice according to package directions.
For the salmon: drizzle the olive oil over the salmon. Combine the brown sugar and spices in a small bowl and stir to mix. Spoon the spice mix over the salmon. Place in the air fryer at 400° F for 10 minutes. If you don’t have an air fryer, you can place it in the oven at 450° F. Place the salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the mango avocado salsa
In a medium bowl, combine the mango, avocado, diced red bell pepper, cilantro, jalapeno, and lime juice. Stir to mix. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Prepare the cilantro-lime rice – once the rice has finished cooking, add a tablespoon of butter, a teaspoon of salt, and a tablespoon of freshly chopped cilantro to the rice and stir to incorporate.
