  • Crispy Rice
  • 1 –1½ cups cooked rice preferably day-old

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.

  • Spread the rice in an even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until the rice is golden brown and crispy. Mine took about 35 minutes.
  • Let the crispy rice cool slightly, then break it into smaller pieces.
  • Pat the salmon dry with paper towels. Drizzle with olive oil and season with all-purpose seasoning, paprika, and onion powder. If your all-purpose seasoning is salty, you can use less or substitute with salt to taste.
  • Place the salmon in the air fryer and cook at 400°F for about 8–10 minutes, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  • Use a fork to gently flake the salmon into smaller pieces.
  • Add the Greek yogurt, Kewpie mayonnaise, soy sauce, hot sauce, and onion powder to a small bowl. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  • Add the crispy rice and flaked salmon to a large bowl. Add the cucumber, avocado, and green onions.
  • Drizzle the creamy sauce over everything and gently toss until the ingredients are evenly coated.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!
