Description

This Air Fryer Salmon recipe offers a quick and flavorful way to enjoy perfectly cooked salmon with a sweet and savory honey soy glaze. Ready in just 20 minutes, it's an easy and healthy meal, featuring tender salmon filets cooked to perfection in an air fryer with a delicious garlic-infused sauce.

Ingredients

Salmon

  • 2 salmon filets (6-8 ounces each)
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Glaze

  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten free)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic or garlic powder. Set this mixture aside for later use.
  2. Season the Salmon: Pat dry the salmon filets thoroughly with paper towels. Season each filet generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on all sides.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Line your air fryer basket with aluminum foil to facilitate easy cleanup. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (204°C) for about 3 minutes.
  4. Cook the Salmon: Place the salmon filets skin-side down into the prepared air fryer basket. Evenly pour the prepared glaze over the top of the salmon. If using minced garlic, try to keep it around the salmon filets and not directly on top to prevent burning. Close the air fryer and cook the salmon for 4 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness of your filets and your air fryer model. Check for doneness by ensuring the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Serve: Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer. Pour any remaining glaze from the foil over the salmon filets. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary based on the thickness of the salmon and the brand/model of your air fryer; start checking at 4 minutes.
  • For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • To avoid burnt garlic, place minced garlic around the salmon instead of on top.
  • Ensure the salmon is patted dry for a better sear and glaze adherence.
  • Use fresh salmon for the best flavor and texture.
