Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs salmon fillets skin-on, cut into portions
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce low sodium
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the Asian glaze.
  • Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them in the air fryer basket, skin-side down.
  • Brush the glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet, reserving a little extra for basting.
  • Set your air fryer to 390°F and cook the salmon for 8 minutes, basting once halfway through with the remaining glaze.
  • Check for doneness; the salmon should be flaky and internal temperature should reach 145°F. Serve immediately.
