Delicious and healthy air fryer salmon made with a flavorful honey soy glaze, seasoned with garlic and onion powder, and topped with sesame seeds. This quick and easy recipe yields perfectly cooked salmon with a crispy edge and tender, juicy center in just 17 minutes.

Ingredients

Salmon

  • 2 salmon fillets (fresh or slightly smoked)

Marinade & Seasoning

  • 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • ½ tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

Additional

  • Olive oil spray (2 pumps)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: Mix together soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small bowl until well combined. This will create a flavorful glaze for the salmon.
  2. Marinate the Salmon: Pour the sauce over the salmon fillets with the skin facing upwards and let them sit for 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking and a crispy finish.
  4. Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Spray the air fryer basket with two pumps of olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the salmon fillets skin side down in the basket.
  5. Apply Sauce: Pour the remaining sauce evenly over the salmon fillets, making sure they are well coated for maximum flavor.
  6. Air Fry the Salmon: Cook the salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 7 minutes. The salmon should be tender inside with a slightly crisp exterior when done.
  7. Rest and Serve: Let the salmon rest and cool for a few minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute before serving.

Notes

  • You can use fresh or slightly smoked salmon fillets depending on your taste preference.
  • Adjust air frying time slightly if fillets are particularly thick or thin to avoid under or overcooking.
  • For extra crispiness, you can sprinkle additional sesame seeds on top before air frying.
  • This recipe is best served immediately but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Use low sodium soy sauce to keep the sodium content moderate.
