Cooking Steps
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.
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.
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.
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 degrees 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.
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.
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.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Tasty glaze on the salmon, though some found the rest plain. The spicy mayo sauce added a flavorful kick 🌶️.
- Ease of prep: Many praised the simplicity, especially for first-time air fryer users. Some found skinning the salmon challenging.
- Suggestions: Consider air frying salmon 5 minutes longer for a slight crunch. Double the veggies for a more filling meal.
- Portions: Some customers wanted larger salmon pieces or double meat to make the meal more substantial.
Reviews from our home cooks
OH MY. This is the best meal I've made so far. So easy, very flavorful, and the textures are perfect together.
Alex: salmon cooked perfectly, agree that this should have double veggie to make it more filling, sauce was tasty, super easy. Matt: rice was a bit weird, salmon was amazing, cooked well, liked the double veggies (we had modded into asparagus too)
Really air fry suggest 5 extra min to salmon to get a slight crunch
Good flavor, first time air frying salmon. It was easy. Made a mess in my air fryer.
My broccoli was in shards not even pieces. Like it had gone through a food processor....and it also had leaves in it. The salmon recipe gave the wrong timing for the air fryer so my entree was on the well done burnt side which my kids didn't appreciate. If it had cooked better with regular ingredients I would have given it a 4.
I like using the air fryer. I have never used frying much as a cooking method. Too greasy
I want to give this four stars, but I guess I don't have the right airfryer for it as the process of drizzling the sauce over the salmon completely leaked through my mesh grates and made a disaster.
