Instructions
- Save time in the kitchen: Read the instructions thoroughly, then gather and prep all your ingredients before cooking! Learn Prepping Tips.
- Make the Spice Blend: In a small mixing bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika powder, chili powder, cumin powder, ground clove, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper and set aside.
- Make the Rice: Clean the rice and add it with 2 cups of water in the rice cooker's insert container. With one hand, swirl the rice around, rubbing the rice against each other to help release the starch and drain the water. Repeat until the water is clear.
- Add broth, two teaspoons of the spice blend, turmeric, red bell peppers, peas, scotch bonnet pepper sauce, and cilantro. Then, place it in the rice cooker and set it for cooking brown rice.
- Make the Cabbage Slaw: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cabbage, carrots, onion, red bell pepper, juices, vinegar, and pepper sauce with one teaspoon of the spice blend. Then, gently push down the vegetables in the juice mixture, cover them with plastic wrap, and place them in the refrigerator.
- Set the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 6 minutes.
- Prepare the Salmon: Combine the remaining spice blend with turmeric. With the skin side down, brush the flesh with oil and sprinkle on the spice blend.
- Pat the spice down on the fish and place it in the air fryer basket.
- Serve: Fluff and plate up the rice in the center. Next, add the salmon. Then add the pepper cabbage slaw on top and garnish with chopped cilantro.
