Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Vegetables
- 2 (6 oz. or 8 oz.) frozen salmon fillets, thawed
- 2 cups frozen broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Sauce and Garnishes
- 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce, plus more for serving
- 1/2 English cucumber, cut into matchsticks
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced on a bias
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Base
- 2 cups cooked long-grain white rice, kept warm
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and coat the basket with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Ingredients: Place the thawed salmon fillets in the air fryer basket with the skin-side down. Arrange the frozen broccoli florets evenly around the salmon. Drizzle everything with olive oil and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Apply Teriyaki Sauce: Brush the tops of the salmon fillets generously with teriyaki sauce for flavor.
- Air Fry: Cook in the air fryer for 7 to 9 minutes or until the broccoli is tender and the salmon is lightly golden-brown and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) to ensure it is fully cooked.
- Assemble Bowls: Divide the warm cooked rice evenly between two bowls. Top each bowl with the air-fried salmon and broccoli, then add cucumber matchsticks, fresh cilantro leaves, and thinly sliced green onions.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the bowls and drizzle with additional teriyaki sauce as desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful meal!
Notes
- You can substitute broccoli florets with Brussels sprouts or other seasonal vegetables if preferred.
- Ensure salmon is thawed completely for even cooking in the air fryer.
- Check the internal temperature of the salmon with a food thermometer to guarantee it reaches 145°F for safety.
- For a lower sodium option, choose a low-sodium teriyaki sauce or make your own.
- Use fresh herbs like cilantro and green onions to add brightness to the dish.
