Ingredients
  

For the base

  • 1 bag Frozen Asian-style cauliflower stir-fry (from Sprouts)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

For Salmon

  • 10 oz salmon fillets (2, 5oz fillets)
  • lemon pepper seasoning

For the toppings

  • Kewpie mayo
  • Tobiko (optional)
  • Unagi sauce (optional, sriracha for heat)
  • Furikake seasoning
  • Chopped green onion
  • Nori sheets

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon

  • Pat the salmon fillets dry and season them generously with lemon pepper seasoning.
    Preheat your air fryer to 375°F.
    Place the salmon in the air fryer and bake for 8-10 minutes or until cooked through and flaky.

Cook the Cauliflower Stir Fry

  • While the salmon is air-frying, heat a pan with some cooking oil.
    Add the frozen Asian-style cauliflower, stir fry, and sauté for about 5 minutes.
    Once most of the liquid has evaporated, season with garlic powder, onion powder, and soy sauce, stir well, and continue cooking until there is no excess liquid. Set aside.

Assemble the Sushi Bake

  • Divide the cooked cauliflower stir-fry evenly into two air-fryer-safe containers or serving bowls.
    Flake the cooked salmon into a medium-sized bowl and mix it with Kewpie mayo until well combined.
    Distribute the flaked salmon mixture over the cauliflower base.
    Place the containers back in the air fryer and bake for 5 minutes at 375°F to warm everything through and slightly crisp the top.

Add Toppings

  • Remove the sushi bake from the air fryer and top with a drizzle of Kewpie mayo, unagi sauce (if using), and tobiko (optional).
    Sprinkle with furikake seasoning and chopped green onions for added flavor and texture.
    Serve with nori sheets on the side for wrapping or scooping.

Notes

Meal Prep Tips

  • Store the sushi bake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • When ready to eat, reheat in the microwave.
  • Keep nori sheets separate to maintain their crispness until serving.
