Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Salmon
  • 2 salmon fillets 5–8 oz. each
Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1.5 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
Optional Garnishes
  • black/white sesame seeds
  • green onions, sliced

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Bowl

Method
 

  1. Combine honey, soy sauce, and garlic powder in a bowl. Stir to mix. Divide the sauce in half.
  2. Marinate the salmon fillets with half the sauce in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated salmon fillets in the air fryer basket. Baste the remaining marinade onto the salmon fillets.
  4. Air fry for 7-8 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  5. Serve the salmon hot, drizzled with any remaining sauce. This pairs well with rice.

Notes

This recipe is naturally gluten-free if you use tamari instead of soy sauce. Serve with your favorite rice for a complete meal.
