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, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Sauce and Toppings
- 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 (200°C) and lightly coat the basket with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Salmon and Broccoli: Place the thawed salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, 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 2 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce to infuse flavor during cooking.
- 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, ensuring the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
- Assemble Bowls: Divide the warm cooked rice evenly between two bowls. Top each bowl with the cooked salmon, broccoli florets, cucumber matchsticks, fresh cilantro leaves, green onion slices, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
- Serve: Drizzle additional teriyaki sauce over the bowls to taste and enjoy your flavorful Teriyaki Salmon Bowls immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute broccoli with crisp-tender Brussels sprouts or snap peas for variation.
- Make sure to thaw the frozen salmon completely before air frying for even cooking.
- Adjust teriyaki sauce quantity based on your preference for sweetness and saltiness.
- Use skin-on salmon to help keep the fillets intact during cooking and add extra flavor.
- Leftover bowls can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently before serving.
