Yield: 4
Course: Dinner
Cuisine: American, Asian

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce (or gluten-free soy sauce)
  • 1 tbsp sriracha hot sauce (use less if you don't like heat)
  • 1 clove garlic (smashed)
  • 4 wild salmon fillets (skinless (6 oz each))

Instructions

  • Combine maple syrup, soy sauce, sriracha and garlic in a small bowl, pour into a gallon sized resealable bag and add the salmon.
  • Marinate 15 to 20 minutes, turning once in a while. If you don't have time, 5 minutes will still be enough.
  • Lightly spray the basket with oil spray to prevent sticking or use air fryer parchment.
  • Remove the fish from the marinade, reserving and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Place the fish in the air fryer, in batches, air fry 400F 7 to 8 minutes, or longer depending on thickness of the salmon.
  • Meanwhile, pour the marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and reduce until it thickens into a glaze, 1 to 2 minutes, careful not to dry it out. Spoon over salmon just before eating.

Notes

Helpful Tips:
  • Spray the basket with a propellant-free oil or use air fryer parchment to prevent the skin from sticking to the basket.
  • There's no need to pre-heat to air fryer.
  • Don't overcrowd the basket so you get decent air flow.
  • There is no need to flip the salmon, it will cook on both sides fine.
  • To know if salmon is ready, the fish will change from translucent (red or raw) to opaque (pink) as it cooks. Check for doneness after 6 to 8 minutes of cooking, by peeking into the thickest part with a sharp knife or fork. It should flake, but still has a little translucency in the center when it's done.
