Description
This delicious air fryer salmon recipe is marinated in a flavorful soy sauce mixture, ensuring that each bite is tender and savory.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb salmon
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced or ½ tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 Tbsp ginger root, finely grated (about ½ inch of fresh ginger root or 1 tsp ground ginger)
Instructions
- Cut the salmon into bite sized pieces using a sharp knife. I like to do about 1 inch sized pieces. You can leave the skin intact or remove it. I typically remove about half the skin and leave the rest.
- In a large bowl, combine the marinade ingredients. Stir or whisk together until well-combined. Add the salmon and mix until each piece of raw fish is coated in the marinade. Set aside to marinade for 15-30 minutes. I don’t suggest letting it marinade longer than this because the vinegar will start to break down the fish.
- Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and spray with a cooking spray (this is optional for easy clean up). Place the salmon cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 6-8 minutes. There is no need to flip or shake the salmon.
- Hint: for best results, spread the salmon in a single layer with space between the bite-sized salmon pieces so that air can circulate. This helps to cook the salmon evenly.
Notes
- Keep an eye on the salmon to prevent overcooking as air fryers can vary in efficiency.
- Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
