Salmon fillets are topped with a tangy sour cream and sweet Vidalia onion mixture, then coated with panko and crushed fried onions. Air-fried until golden and flaky alongside seasoned broccoli, the salmon is served over buttery garlic rice and finished with a creamy ranch drizzle for a comforting combination of rich, savory flavors and satisfying crunch.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Cook Rice
1
  • In a small pot, combine rice, stock concentrate, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), 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.

  • Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary.

  • Using your hands, finely crush crispy fried onions in their bag. Transfer to a small bowl; stir in panko and a drizzle of olive oil.

  • In a separate small bowl, combine two packets of sour cream and half the Vidalia onion paste (four packets of sour cream and all the onion paste for 4 servings).

  •  

Air-Fry Salmon & Broccoli
3
  • Coat an air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Pat salmon* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper.

  • Evenly spread sour cream mixture onto tops of salmon. Mound with panko mixture, pressing to adhere.

  • In a medium bowl, toss broccoli with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  • Using a spatula, transfer salmon to one side of the basket and broccoli to the other side. (For 4 servings, work in batches if necessary.) Air-fry at 350 degrees until salmon is cooked through, 10-12 minutes.

Finish & Serve
4
  • In a third small bowl, combine ranch dressing, remaining sour cream, and 1 TBSP water (2 TBSP for 4 servings).

  • Fluff rice with a fork; stir in garlic powder and 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4).

  • Divide rice, salmon, and broccoli between plates. Drizzle with ranch sauce and serve.
