How To Make Air Fryer Bourbon Glazed Salmon

Start by mixing the brown sugar, bourbon, soy sauce, ginger, lime juice, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Place the fillets into the bag, then place it in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours.

Spray your basket or tray with olive oil. Then place the Salmon in the air fryer basket or tray. Then set the temperature to 400 degrees F for 6 minutes; after 6 minutes, brush the Salmon with some more marinade, and air fry for another 6 minutes.

Check the internal temperature, which should read 145 degrees F.

Pro Tips:

Spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray, line your basket with parchment paper or even a silicone air fryer liner.
For best results, baste your Salmon frequently during the cooking process.
Do not crowd the Salmon in the air fryer. For best results, leave plenty of room around the Salmon, so it perfectly cooks up.
Since every air fryer cooks at a slightly different rate, make sure to check your Salmon frequently during the cooking process.

DOES SALMON IN THE AIR FRYER STINK UP THE HOUSE?

The answer is NO. The air fryer leaves the house smelling like delicious fried food without the oil and mess of frying!

You can Air Fry any fish, including Salmon, Tilapia, Cod, Trout, Halibut, and more.

A Great Side Dish For Air Fryer Bourbon Glazed Salmon

CAN I USE FROZEN SALMON?

Yes, although the cooking time will be a bit longer, remember, for best results, baste your Salmon frequently during the cooking process.

CAN I USE SALMON THAT STILL HAS THE SKIN ON?

I get this question a lot, and the answer is YES! Salmon skin is delicious. It’s crispy and flavorful, especially when cooking it in butter or another high-quality fat like coconut oil.
