air fryer salmon

I am obsessed with this salmon recipe because it is so quick and delicious! Cooking salmon in the air fryer produces the most tender and juicy fish. Momiji soy sauce made with only four ingredients is delicious. Pure maple syrup, sriracha, soy sauce, garlic. The best part is that the fish is marinated for 15 minutes and then air fried for 6-8 minutes. This is my favorite air fryer salmon recipe, but I also love this Chili Lime Air Fryer Salmon and Basil Parmesan Salmon if you want a different flavor profile.

Air Fryer Salmon Variations:

I never order salmon at a restaurant. This air fryer salmon is marinated in Asian flavors, but you can keep it simple!

• The salmon was seasoned with salt and pepper and served with freshly squeezed lemon to keep it simple.
• Play around with the salmon with different spices like Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
• Try using honey instead of maple syrup in this recipe.

• No need to preheat the air fryer.
• Do not overfill the basket for proper airflow.
• Salmon does not need to be flipped, it is cooked on both sides.
• How to know if salmon is ready, the fish will turn from translucent (red or raw) to opaque (pink) as it cooks. After 6-8 minutes of cooking, check for doneness by scraping through the thickest part with a sharp knife or fork. . It should be flaky, but when it’s done, it’s still slightly translucent in the center.

Refrigerate leftover salmon in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
