Preparation
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, soy sauce, and honey, whisking until glossy. Divide into two portions—one for marinating and one for finishing later.
- Marinate the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry, brush with the first portion of the glaze, and let marinate at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set to 400°F for 3-5 minutes.
- Cook the Salmon: Place marinated fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket and cook for about 7-8 minutes until they flake easily and reach 125-130°F.
- Finish and Serve: Transfer salmon to plates, drizzle with reserved glaze, and top with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Notes
Serve over jasmine rice for a complete meal. Adjust honey and spice levels for a customized flavor profile.
