Go to the grocery store and pick up fresh salmon.

Decide to make teriyaki salmon with jasmine rice and cucumber salad.

Rinse and soak the jasmine rice.

Prepare the teriyaki marinade by combining 1/4 cup soy sauce, 3 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 4 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 to 1 teaspoon chili flakes, and 1 to 2 teaspoons minced garlic.

Marinate the salmon with a couple tablespoons of the teriyaki marinade.

Simmer the remaining teriyaki marinade in a high heat pan until it thickens to use as a sauce.

In a pot, combine 1 1/2 cups water, 1 tablespoon avocado oil, and a few pinches of sea salt. Bring to a boil.

Add the soaked jasmine rice to the boiling water, reduce heat to low, and cover to simmer.

Prepare the cucumber salad dressing by mixing 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon hoisin sauce, 1/2 teaspoon samyang chili sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil.

Once the salmon is cooked in the air fryer, brush the thickened teriyaki sauce on top.

Assemble the bowl with the air-fried salmon, cucumber salad garnished with sesame seeds and roasted seaweed, and jasmine rice.

Mix everything together in the bowl before eating.
