Ingredients
  

  • 4 frozen salmon fillets 6 ounces each
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 390 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and lemon juice until well combined.
  3. Place the frozen salmon fillets directly in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between each fillet. Do not thaw the salmon beforehand.
  4. Air fry the frozen salmon at 390 degrees Fahrenheit for 7 minutes to partially cook and defrost.
  5. Remove the basket and brush the honey glaze generously over each salmon fillet, coating the tops evenly.
  6. Return the salmon to the air fryer and cook for an additional 6 to 8 minutes until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Remove salmon from the air fryer, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

No need to thaw the salmon before cooking - cooking from frozen keeps the fish moist and tender. For extra caramelization, brush a second coat of glaze during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Check internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure salmon reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit for food safety.
