Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 1 medium saucepan
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 wooden spoon or spatula
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 cutting board
Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- ¼ cup teriyaki sauce Adjust to taste; more for sweetness or less for a milder flavor.
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 cup jasmine or white rice
- 2 cups water or broth for rice
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced Feel free to substitute with your favorites.
- 1 tablespoon green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the salmon pieces with teriyaki sauce and sesame oil. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the rice and vegetables.
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice with 2 cups of water or broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low and cover. Cook for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes.
- While the rice is cooking, preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Once preheated, add the marinated salmon bites to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and slightly crispy on the edges.
- While the salmon cooks, steam the broccoli and bell peppers until just tender but still vibrant in color, about 5 minutes.
- To serve, scoop cooked rice into bowls, top with air-fried teriyaki salmon, and arrange the steamed vegetables on the side.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
- Enjoy your delicious and nutritious Air Fried Teriyaki Salmon Bites Rice Bowl!
