Why this fits a family on a budget

Buying salmon fillets from the fresh or frozen section and using affordable store-bought teriyaki sauce keeps the total cost around $2.70 per serving. The air fryer delivers a restaurant-quality glaze in under 10 minutes with no complicated steps.

Ingredients

• 4 pieces (4 oz each) salmon fillets (skin-on)

• 0.25 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought, dairy-free)

• 2 cups white rice

• 3 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

• 1 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tbsp sesame seeds

• 0.5 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 2 stalks scallions

Instructions

1. Add 2 cups white rice and 4 cups water to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes until all water is absorbed.

2. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes.

3. Pat salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Brush each fillet generously on all sides with teriyaki sauce.

4. Place salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving a little space between each piece.

5. Air fry at 400°F for 8–10 minutes. Salmon is done when the flesh turns opaque, flakes easily when pressed with a fork, and the glaze looks sticky and slightly caramelized on top.

6. While salmon cooks, place broccoli florets in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tbsp water. Cover loosely with a plate and microwave on high for 3–4 minutes until bright green and just tender.

7. Drizzle steamed broccoli with 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of garlic powder, and toss to coat.

8. Slice scallions thinly. Divide rice among four bowls, top with a salmon fillet and a portion of broccoli, then sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions.
