Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

2 salmon fillets (5–8 oz. each)
2 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
Optional garnishes: black or white sesame seeds
Optional garnishes: green onions, sliced

Method

Stir together honey, soy sauce, and garlic powder until well combined, then split the mixture in half.
Place the salmon fillets in a dish and coat with half of the sauce. Refrigerate and let marinate for 30 minutes.
Heat your air fryer to 400°F.
Put the salmon into the air fryer basket and brush the remaining glaze over the fillets.
Cook the salmon in the air fryer for 7 to 8 minutes, adjusting the time based on thickness.
Serve immediately with the leftover sauce drizzled on top and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

If your air fryer doesn't have a preheat setting, heat it at 400°F for 5 minutes before adding the salmon. For extra flavor, try adding red pepper flakes, fresh or powdered ginger, or a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. Black sesame seeds and sliced green onions add a nice texture finish.
