Ingredients

Salmon
2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
Salt & pepper
Glaze
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp rice vinegar
1/2 tsp ginger, grated
Garnish
Sesame seeds
Sliced green onions
Steamed rice

Equipment

  • Instant-Read Meat Thermometer
  • Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

  1. 1

    Mix honey, soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and ginger until combined.

  2. 2

    Pat salmon dry, season with salt and pepper. Brush generously with half the glaze.

  3. 3

    Air fry skin-side down at 400°F for 8-10 minutes until caramelized on top.

  4. 4

    Brush with remaining glaze in the last 2 minutes of cooking.

  5. 5

    Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve over steamed rice.

💡

Tip: Reserve half the glaze for the final brush — adding it all upfront means it burns before the salmon cooks through. Pull at 140°F internal for medium.
