PREPARE INGREDIENTS
Measure out all of the ingredients that do not require additional prep. Dice the avocados and jalapeño, chop the cilantro, and shred the purple cabbage. Cook the rice according to package instructions and set aside. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
MARINATE THE SALMON
In a small bowl, stir together honey and sriracha until combined. Season the salmon filets with salt to taste, then pour the honey sriracha sauce over the salmon, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let the salmon sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
PREPARE THE SALSA
While the salmon is marinating, combine the diced avocados, jalapeño, chopped cilantro, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and lime juice in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
COOK THE SALMON
Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the marinated salmon filets in the air fryer basket (work in batches if necessary). Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook for 7 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
ASSEMBLE THE BOWLS
Divide the cooked rice among four serving bowls. Top each bowl with shredded purple cabbage. Place a salmon filet on top of each bowl, then add a generous spoonful of avocado salsa.
