Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 1 medium saucepan
- 1 mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds salmon fillets
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 medium bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- to taste salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the salmon fillets into bite-sized cubes and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the salmon cubes with the teriyaki sauce, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.
- While the salmon is marinating, cook the white rice according to package instructions and prepare your vegetables.
- Once the air fryer is preheated, place the marinated salmon bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the salmon is cooked through and slightly crispy on the outside.
- Meanwhile, in a saucepan, steam the broccoli florets and bell pepper slices for about 5 minutes, or until they are tender yet crisp.
- To assemble the bowls, start with a base of cooked rice, then add air-fried teriyaki salmon bites on top, followed by the steamed vegetables.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

You can customize the vegetables based on your preference or what you have on hand.
