Ingredients
Salmon:
- 1 1/2 pounds salmon
- 1 head butter lettuce
- 1 cup white rice, cooked
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
Teriyaki Sauce:
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Mirin
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger powder
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Serve with sesame seeds and sriracha sauce
Instructions
- Line your air fryer with parchment paper, and then place your salmon in the air fryer, season with salt and black pepper. Set the temperature to 400 degrees F, air fryer setting, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until it's easily flaked.
- Flake the salmon, and set it aside in a medium-sized bowl. Mix cornstarch and one tablespoon of water in a small bowl to make the cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
- Make the teriyaki sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk together all of the teriyaki sauce ingredients (except for the slurry) until combined. Bring to a boil and lower the heat to a simmer. Whisk in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes, until thickened. It should coat the back of a spoon when it’s thick. Let cool for a few minutes.
- Pour the teriyaki sauce over the cooked salmon and stir to combine. Layer the rice on the lettuce leaves, followed by 1-2 tablespoons of teriyaki salmon. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve.
- Plate, serve, and enjoy!
