Honey Soy Air Fryer Salmon

This is the salmon you make on a Tuesday when you want to feel like you have your life together. The honey-soy glaze caramelizes into a glossy lacquer while the inside stays buttery-pink. Serve over rice with a squeeze of lime.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger together. Pour half over the salmon and marinate for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat air fryer to 400°F.

  3. 3

    Place salmon skin-side down in the basket. Cook 8–10 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork.

    Tip:Thicker fillets need an extra minute or two — internal temp should be 125°F for medium.
  4. 4

    Meanwhile, simmer the reserved marinade on the stovetop for 2 minutes until glossy.

  5. 5

    Brush salmon with the reduced glaze, sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions, and serve.

Pro Tips from the Kitchen

  • Pat the salmon very dry before marinating for better glaze adherence.
  • Line the basket with a small piece of parchment to make cleanup easy.
  • Leftover salmon makes incredible rice bowls the next day.
