  • Prepare the rice: Cook the rice as directed on the package in the rice cooker or pot.
  • Make the Vinaigrette: Add the shallot, jalapeno, cilantro, lime, pomegranate molasses, apple cider vinegar, kosher salt, and black pepper in the food processor.
  • Then, add the olive oil slowly to emulsify and set aside.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit with the cooking time at 8 minutes.
  • Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon chunks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Then, in a mixing bowl, combine salmon, garlic powder, and onion powder with a quarter of the dressing.
  • Cook the Salmon: Place the salmon chunks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each piece for proper air circulation.
  • Serve: Wash the mixing bowl and combine the greens and cabbage slaw. Then, plate the following in each quarter of the bowl: brown basmati rice, salad greens mixture, cucumber, and avocado. Finally, place the salmon in the center and drizzle the cilantro sauce dressing on top.
