Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets salmon fillets 6 oz each, skin-on or skinless
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium preferred
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons green onions sliced, for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and rice vinegar until well combined.
  2. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place salmon in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over the fillets. Reserve the remaining marinade for basting. Let marinate for 5 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 3-5 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  4. Place salmon fillets in the air fryer basket skin-side down, making sure they are not touching. Air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes, depending on thickness.
  5. After 6 minutes, carefully open the air fryer and brush the reserved marinade over the salmon fillets. Continue cooking for the remaining 2-4 minutes until salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Remove salmon from air fryer and let rest for 2 minutes. The glaze will thicken slightly as it cools.
  7. Transfer salmon to serving plates and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately with your choice of rice or vegetables.

Notes

For best results, use salmon fillets that are similar in thickness so they cook evenly. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket - cook in batches if necessary. The salmon is done when it reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit internally and flakes easily with a fork but is still moist in the center.
