Sesame Crusted Salmon Bowl
bowls / dairy free / meal prep / air fryer
This bowl combines fluffy rice, air fryer sesame crusted salmon, and a sesame pepper cucumber & carrot slaw. Topped with your favorite ginger dressing to make this the perfect nourishing meal!
I just traveled to NYC recently and had Dig Inn for the first time. I’d been wanting to try it for so long after hearing about all the bowl combination you can make and how comforting but healthy all the food is. My friend and I ended up ordering a bunch of different sides and the salmon with lemon as the protein and tossed everything together to make our bowl.
When I tell you it was one of my favorite meals I’ve ever eaten, I’m not joking. I am always craving warm bowls with dark greens, and deliciously fresh protein, and that also has a bright crunch. This bowl had all of it so I needed to recreate it. What’s better than having Dig Inn in your own home? (And making it way cheaper?)
