Ingredients

  • 2 6-ounce salmon fillets
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

  • Pat the salmon fillets dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. 
  • In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, brown sugar, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger and mix well.
  • Line the air fryer basket with aluminum foil or us an aluminum or silicone baking mold. This will help keep in all of the delicious flavors of the sauce.
  • Arrange the salmon fillets in the air fryer in a single layer. Spoon the sauce mixture over the salmon, dividing equally.
  • Cook at 370°F for 5 minutes. When done, the salmon will flake easily with a fork and the sauce will be bubbling and thick.
  • Once the cooking is finished, transfer the fish to a plate and spoon the sauce over the top.
  • Serve hot.
