Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 1 large garlic clove (finely diced)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 14 ounces salmon 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.
  • Nutritional values are an estimate only and based on one of two servings.
