Description
Enjoy this Honey Soy Salmon Air Fryer recipe that promises a quick and delicious meal packed with flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 fillets Salmon (Substitute with trout for a similar taste.)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (Avocado oil can also be used.)
- 2 tablespoons Honey (Opt for runny honey for easy measurement.)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (Use dark for depth or light if preferred.)
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika (Regular or hot paprika is a good substitute.)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic paste (Garlic powder can be used if needed.)
- 1 teaspoon Chili paste (Red pepper flakes or cayenne can replace it.)
- to taste Salt (Elevate flavors.)
- to taste Ground black pepper (Adjust to taste.)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (Adds texture and crunch.)
- 2 wedges Lemon (Brings brightness and balances sweetness.)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, honey, garlic paste, chili paste, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Blend well until smooth and fragrant.
- If necessary, descale the salmon fillets, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Place the fish in a Ziploc bag or shallow dish for marinating.
- Pour the prepared marinade over the salmon, seal the bag, and gently massage it to ensure the fish is well coated. Let it marinate for 15-30 minutes for optimal flavor absorption.
- Transfer the marinated salmon fillets (skin side down) to an oven-safe dish that fits in your air fryer basket. If you don’t have a dish, line the basket with aluminum foil and carefully place the salmon inside. Pour any remaining marinade over the fish.
- Set your air fryer to 195°C/390°F and cook the salmon for 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
- Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer. Serve it over a bed of rice with steamed vegetables. Garnish your plated dish with sesame seeds and lemon wedges for an extra touch of flavor.
