Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

For the Marinade

3 tablespoons honey Feel free to use agave for a vegan option
2 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic is recommended for better flavor
2 tablespoons soy sauce Tamari can be used for gluten-free
1 tablespoon olive oil Use high-quality olive oil for best results
to taste salt
to taste pepper

For the Salmon

2 fillets salmon Skin-on or skin-off is fine
to taste chopped green onions For garnish

Method

Preparation

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and olive oil.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure they are well coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Cooking

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and season with salt and pepper.
Place the fillets in the air fryer basket skin-side down.
Cook for 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

For serving suggestions, pair with steamed vegetables or a refreshing salad. You can add spice with red pepper flakes or sriracha, and include fresh herbs like dill or parsley for flavor variation.
