14ouncessalmon fillet(400g, or two smaller fillets)
Instructions
Mix together the sesame oil, soy sauce, diced garlic and honey in a shallow bowl or zip lock bag.
Pat the salmon fillet dry and place it in the marinade. Spoon the marinade over the fillet, then cover / seal and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Preheat the air fryer to 360F / 180c.
Once the air fryer is preheated, brush the garlic off of the salmon so that it doesn't burn, and lay the fillet, skin side down, in the air fryer basket.
Air fry at 360F / 180c for 15 to 20 minutes depending on how thick your salmon fillet is.
Notes
Pat the salmon dry with kitchen paper before marinating it. This will stop it from becoming mushy when it cooks and
Brush the garlic off of the salmon before cooking it in the air fryer, it will burn if left on the fish.
Don't be tempted to cook this at a higher temperature. It will cook quicker, but the honey soy glaze is likely to burn and the salmon can dry out.
The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the salmon. Check it at around 13 minutes if your salmon is thinner.
