SWEET CHILI AIR FRYER SALMON & CILANTRO LIME RICE

This is one of my favorite recipes for meal prep (and yes, I'm that brave coworker who puts salmon in the microwave). Sweet chili sauce with garlic and lemon juice is the perfect flavor combination. Served with cilantro lime rice makes it even better.

Air fryer salmon has changed the game for me, and has become a staple in my weekly meal prep rotation!
