How To Make Copycat Texas Roadhouse Salmon Recipe

Step One: Start by placing parchment paper into your air fryer, spray the parchment paper with cooking spray.

Step Two: Add your lime slices on top of the parchment paper. Season your salmon with salt and black pepper, and place your salmon on top of the limes.

Step Three: Add the butter, sweet chili sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes in a small mixing bowl. Using a pastry brush, brush the sauce over the salmon. Set the salmon in the air fryer, set the air fryer temperature to 400 degrees F, and set the cook time for 8-10 minutes. The thickness of the salmon will determine the exact cooking time. For best results, brush your salmon frequently during the cooking process. Remove the salmon when a fork easily flakes it.

Texas Roadhouse Salmon Recipe Tips

• Choose Fresh Salmon: Fresh, high-quality salmon fillets will give the best flavor and texture. Look for salmon with vibrant color and firm flesh.
• Customize the Sauce: Feel free to adjust the sweetness or spice level of the glaze by adding more brown sugar or red pepper flakes, depending on your preference.
• Use Parchment Paper: Lining your air fryer with parchment paper helps to keep the salmon moist and prevents sticking. It also makes cleanup easier.
• Brush Frequently: For a glaze that really sticks, brush the salmon with the sauce several times during the cooking process to ensure even coverage and flavor.
• Check Doneness with a Fork: To test if the salmon is cooked through, gently press a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. It should flake easily and be opaque inside.
• Serve Immediately: For the best taste and texture, serve the salmon right away while it’s hot and juicy.

Storing

• Storing: To store leftover Copycat Texas Roadhouse Salmon, place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 2 days.
• Freezing: You can freeze cooked salmon for up to 3 months. Wrap the salmon tightly in plastic wrap or foil, then place it in a freezer-safe bag. Be sure to remove excess air to avoid freezer burn.
• Reheating: To reheat, place the salmon in the air fryer at 350°F for about 4-5 minutes to warm it up while keeping it moist. Alternatively, gently heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or on the stovetop over low heat with a bit of butter.

For extra texture and color, serve with roasted vegetables like asparagus, carrots, or green beans. Don’t forget a slice of warm, soft bread to soak up any extra sauce!
