Air Fryer Maple Glazed Salmon
Description
Sticky maple-soy glazed salmon made in the air fryer in about 10 minutes. The glaze goes on twice for a glossy, caramelized finish.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets, about 6 oz each, 1 inch thick
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic, about 3 cloves
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Whisk the maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside 2 tablespoons for the final brush.
- Pat the salmon dry. Season lightly with salt, then brush with the rest of the glaze.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes. Line the basket with perforated parchment or mist with cooking spray.
- Place the fillets skin-side down, not touching. Air fry for 7 minutes.
- Brush with the reserved glaze. Air fry 1 to 3 minutes more, until the thickest part reaches 145°F.
- Rest for 2 minutes, then serve.
Equipment
- Perforated parchment liners or cooking spray
- Instant-read thermometer
Notes
- Thinner fillets (¾ inch) may be done after 6 minutes total. Check early.
- For a medium center, pull the salmon at 140°F.
- Gluten-free: use tamari. Low-carb: use sugar-free maple-flavored syrup and coconut aminos.
