Ingredients
2 salmon fillets, fresh or slightly smoked
For the Sauce:
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
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, onion powder, garlic powder, and sesame seeds. Stir well to combine until smooth and fragrant.
Step 2: Marinate the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish with the skin facing up. Pour the sauce over the fillets, making sure they are well-coated. Let them sit and marinate for 5-10 minutes to absorb all the delicious flavors.
Step 3: Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. This helps ensure the salmon cooks evenly and gets a slight crisp on the edges.
Step 4: Air Fry the Salmon
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with two pumps of olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the basket. Pour any remaining sauce over the top of the fillets for extra flavor.
Step 5: Cook and Serve
Air fry the salmon for 7 minutes at 400°F until cooked through and beautifully glazed. Let the salmon cool slightly for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to settle.
