Ingredients
Instructions
- In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings) and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
- While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Trim and thinly slice scallions. In a medium bowl, toss broccoli with a large drizzle of oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, slowly cut between flesh and skin ½ inch at a time, being careful not to cut into flesh, until skin is fully removed from fish; discard skin. Cut salmon into ½-inch chunks. In a second medium bowl, toss salmon with half the sweet soy glaze (you’ll use the rest later) until evenly coated.
- Coat an air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray; arrange salmon and broccoli in basket in separate sections. (TIP: Work in batches if necessary!) Air-fry at 390°F until salmon starts to turn opaque, 4-6 minutes. Remove basket; carefully brush salmon with remaining sweet soy glaze. Return basket to air fryer; cook until glaze is tacky and salmon is cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. Transfer salmon to a small bowl; continue to air-fry broccoli until tender, 2-3 minutes.
- In a second small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Sriracha, half the honey (all for 4 servings) and as many chili flakes as you like. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
- Fluff rice with a fork. Divide rice, salmon and broccoli between shallow bowls in separate sections. Drizzle with spicy mayo; top with scallions, as many sesame seeds as you like and as many remaining chili flakes as you like. Serve.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy broccoli, don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; work in batches if needed.
To easily remove salmon skin, use a sharp knife and hold the skin taut as you slice.
Adjust the spiciness by adding more or fewer Korean chili flakes to the mayo.
FAQ
Can I use frozen salmon for this recipe?
Yes, but make sure to thaw it completely and pat it dry before cooking to ensure even glazing and proper texture.
What can I substitute for sweet soy glaze?
You can mix equal parts soy sauce and honey or brown sugar with a splash of rice vinegar to mimic the sweet soy flavor.
Can I make this recipe without an air fryer?
Absolutely. Roast the salmon and broccoli on a sheet pan in a 400°F oven. Broil for the last 1-2 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
