TikTok You Don't Stop Salmon
This preparation was inspired by a TikTok video I have not been able to find since I first saw it, and it looked so good I was forced to order an Air Fryer on the spot so I could make THIS: perfectly tender salmon with the crispiest skin and the sticky-spicy glaze of everyone’s dreams in 10 minutes flat.
I added sushi rice, a delectable creamy-salty-spicy mayo (good with chicken too!), and plenty of chopped fresh crunchy veg to round it out.
Chili-Glazed Salmon Poke
Serving Size: 2 people
Ingredients:
1 lb salmon filet cut in 4
1 cup sushi rice
1 tbsp sweet cooking rice wine
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp sesame seeds
2 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
Marinade:
¼ cup of soy sauce
2 tbsp of sesame oil
2 tbsp Sriracha sauce (optional for heat!)
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
Quick Pickled Red Onions:
½ cup apple juice
½ cup rice wine vinegar
½ thinly sliced red onion
Sea salt
Spicy Mayo Sauce:
2 tablespoons of mayo or vegan alternative
2 tbsp Sriracha sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp honey
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
•In a large bowl whisk together the marinade. Submerge salmon skin side up/flesh side down into the bowl and let it sit for 15 minutes or covered in the refrigerator up to 4 hours. When ready to cook, preheat air fryer to 400 degrees.
•Make sushi rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, use a fork to lightly fluff the grains. Turn off heat, cover and let it sit for an additional 10 minutes. Add a splash of sweet cooking rice wine and toss to combine.
•Spray air fryer basket with olive oil. Remove salmon from marinade and lay 2 salmon filets skin side down into the hot sizzling air fryer basket for 8 minutes.
•Meanwhile, in a small pot or pan, add apple juice, rice wine vinegar, onion, and salt and bring to a boil, then turn off heat, cover, and let stand until ready to use.
•After initial 8 minutes, brush each salmon filet with a ½ tbsp of honey and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Put salmon back in the air fryer for 1 minute. Repeat this cooking process with remaining 2 salmon filets.
•In a small bowl, whisk together spicy mayo ingredients and set aside.
•On a plate, arrange rice and salmon with a slick of spicy mayo alongside. Then scatter pickled red onions, cucumbers, scallions and jalapeno over top and serve.
