Air fryer soy and ginger salmon
Description
Soy-glazed salmon is super easy and super speedy to cook in the air fryer. This easy dinner for two is packed with omega-3 and ready in under 15 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 x fresh salmon fillets, each around 120g/4½oz
- sunflower oil, for greasing
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 4 spring onions, trimmed and thickly sliced
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- for the glaze
- ½ tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp runny honey
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce (gluten-free if required)
- 1 large garlic clove, crushed
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp dried chilli flakes (optional)
- cooked rice
- long-stemmed broccoli or stir-fried vegetables
Directions
- Place each salmon fillet on a small sheet of oiled kitchen foil, skin-side side down. Bring up the sides of the foil up to create a lip that will hold the runny glaze.
- Put the salmon fillets in their foil bowls on top of the crisper plate in your air fryer, leaving space between them for the air to flow. Mix the glaze ingredients together in a small bowl, then pour it over the salmon and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Cook at 190C for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle with the spring onions and cook for 1 minute more, or until the salmon is cooked. Stand for 2 minutes before serving.
- Serve with freshly cooked rice and broccoli or stir-fried vegetables, drizzled with any sticky juices that have collected at the bottom of the foil bowls.
