Instructions

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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

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.
