Air Fryer Honey Garlic Salmon
Salmon fillets marinated in honey, soy sauce and garlic, then air fried and glazed with a reserved sauce.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets 5 to 8 oz each
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 ½ tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- ¼ tsp garlic powder or 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
- cooking spray for the basket
- sesame seeds for garnish
- green onions sliced, for garnish
Instructions
Cooking
- Whisk the honey, soy sauce and garlic together in a small bowl.
- Pour half of the sauce into a clean bowl and set it aside. This portion never touches raw fish.
- Place the salmon in the remaining sauce, turn to coat, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Discard the used marinade.
- Heat the air fryer to 400 degrees F and lightly spray the basket.
- Place the fillets in a single layer, skin side down, and cook for about 7 to 8 minutes. Thicker fillets can take up to 10 minutes.
- For the last minute or two, brush the fillets with some of the reserved sauce.
- The salmon is done when the thickest part reaches 145 degrees F and flakes easily. Drizzle with the remaining reserved sauce and top with sesame seeds and green onions.
