Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the marinade.

- Set the air fryer or oven to cook at 390-400℉. Once heated, add the salmon and cook 5-10 minutes until flaky and cooked through. Set aside.
- While salmon is cooking, prepare the rice and veggies according to package directions. I recommend cooking the veggies less then recommend (by 20-30 seconds if microwaving) to prevent overcooking.
