Ingredients
4 salmon fillets (6oz each)
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, olive oil, and black pepper.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, skin-side down if applicable.
Brush the honey garlic glaze generously over the tops of the salmon fillets.
Cook in the air fryer at 380°F for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the glaze is caramelized.
Remove carefully and serve immediately.
Notes
Use center-cut fillets of equal thickness to ensure even cooking.
If the glaze is browning too quickly, lower the air fryer temperature slightly.
Use low-sodium soy sauce if you are monitoring your salt intake.
