Air Fryer Salmon with Maple Soy
This Air Fryer Salmon with Maple Soy glaze is a delicious and easy dish made with just five ingredients.
Equipment
- air fryer
- Air Fryer Parchment
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 3 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce (or gluten-free soy sauce)
- 1 tablespoon sriracha hot sauce (use less if you don't like heat)
- 1 clove garlic (smashed)
- 4 fillets wild salmon (skinless (6 oz each))
Instructions
- Combine maple syrup, soy sauce, sriracha and garlic in a small bowl, pour into a gallon sized resealable bag and add the salmon.
- Marinate 15 to 20 minutes, turning once in a while. If you don't have time, 5 minutes will still be enough.
- Lightly spray the basket with oil spray to prevent sticking or use air fryer parchment.
- Remove the fish from the marinade, reserving and pat dry with paper towels.
- Place the fish in the air fryer, in batches, air fry at 400F for 7 to 8 minutes, or longer depending on thickness of the salmon.
- Meanwhile, pour the marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and reduce until it thickens into a glaze, 1 to 2 minutes, being careful not to dry it out. Spoon over salmon just before eating.
Notes
Helpful Tips: Spray the basket with a propellant-free oil or use air fryer parchment to prevent sticking. There's no need to pre-heat the air fryer. Don't overcrowd the basket for decent air flow. Salmon is ready when it changes from translucent to opaque. Check for doneness after 6 to 8 minutes by peeking into the thickest part with a sharp knife or fork. It should flake but still has a little translucency in the center when it's done.
