Description
This recipe provides a quick and easy way to prepare flavorful honey-glazed salmon using an air fryer. It is a healthy and convenient meal option.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges, for serving
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger (if using) to create the glaze.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (195°C). If your air fryer requires it, lightly grease the basket with cooking spray.
- Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Halfway through the cooking time (around 5-6 minutes), carefully brush the salmon with a generous amount of the honey glaze.
- For a crispier glaze, you can increase the temperature to 400°F (200°C) for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye on it to prevent burning.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
Notes
- Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your salmon fillets and the specific model of your air fryer.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze.
- Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
