Ingredients
For the turmeric rice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/2 tsp curry powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup basmati or jasmine rice
For the salmon
- 1 - 1.5 lbs salmon, skin removed, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1/2 cup panko or other breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp all spice
- 1/2 tbsp ground pepper
- 1 tsp salt
For serving
- 1 cup mixed olives
- 1 cup pickled turnip
- 1/2 cup hummus
- 1/2 cup labneh
- 1 cup tabbouleh
Instructions
For the rice
- Pot over medium heat and add olive oil. Once warm, add diced onion and cook 4-5 minutes to soften.
- Stir in turmeric powder, curry powder and salt and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
- Stir in the rice and stir frequently, until the rice is evenly coated, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the broth and bring to a simmer over medium high heat. Turn to low heat and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 15-18 minutes. Remove from the heat, fluff with a fork and put the lid on for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the lid and fluff with a fork and set aside.
For the salmon
- Prepare the other bowl toppings first and set aside (slice radishes and set aside other ingredients depending on your toppings preference: labneh, hummus, tabbouleh, pickled radishes, mixed olives).
- While the rice is cooking, prepare the salmon. Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and then cut the salmon into 1 inch cubes. Add the cubes of salmon to a bowl and drizzle with 1 tbsp avocado oil.
- Dunk the salmon cubes into the breadcrumbs mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to the salmon and set aside on a plate.
- Add the salmon cubes to the air fryer basket and make sure they’re not overlapping (air fry in batches if needed). Air fry 400F for 6-8 minutes (depending on level of doneness you prefer), flipping halfway through.
- Prepare the bowl.
