Cooking Steps

Cook Rice
1

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add 1⁄4 tsp turmeric (1⁄2 tsp for 4 servings) and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. • Add rice, 1 1⁄4 cups water (2 1⁄4 cups for 4), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Prep
2

• While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. • Halve and peel onion; dice until you have 2 TBSP (4 TBSP for 4 servings). (Save remaining onion for another use.) Quarter lime. Dice tomato. Trim and quarter cucumber lengthwise; cut crosswise into 1⁄4-inch pieces. Roughly chop parsley. Pick and roughly chop fronds from dill. • In a large bowl, mix diced onion with a squeeze of lime juice, a pinch of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

Preheat Air Fryer & Season Salmon
3

• Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees. (Skip this if you don’t have an air fryer!) • In a medium bowl, combine harissa powder, honey, a drizzle of oil, juice from two lime wedges (four wedges for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. • Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Add to bowl with marinade and rub to coat.

Cook Salmon
4

• Line preheated air fryer with parchment. Place salmon on parchment, skin sides up; air-fry until skin is crisp and salmon is cooked through, 8-10 minutes. • STOVETOP ALTERNATIVE: Don’t have an air fryer? No problem! Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add salmon, skin sides down, and cook until skin is crisp, 4-6 minutes. Flip and cook until salmon is cooked through, 2-3 minutes more.

Make Shirazi Salad
5

• While salmon cooks, to bowl with onion mixture, add tomato, cucumber, parsley, dill, sumac, a large drizzle of olive oil, juice from remaining lime, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

Finish & Serve
6

• Fluff rice with a fork. • Divide rice between shallow bowls. Top with salmon. Spoon Shirazi salad over salmon and serve.

Fish is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
