Skillet Air Fryer Salmon with Honey Sriracha Glaze sits in the Seafood section of Regbie. The card serves 4 people. Plan on 20 minutes from the first measure to the plate. The amounts and the method are both written on this page.
Ingredients
Yield: 4 people
- 4 salmon fillets, about 5 ounces each
- Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons honey, or 100% fruit juice sweetened jam for Whole30
- 1 tablespoon Whole30 Sriracha
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder
- Avocado oil spray
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, skippable finish
Method
Blot the salmon dry and sprinkle on some salt and pepper.
In a small saucepan combine coconut aminos, honey, sriracha, and the minced garlic. Leave on a medium burner, stirring occasionally, until the honey dissolves and the sauce comes to a gently bubble.
While the sauce is heating up, whisk together a small amount of water with the arrowroot powder in a small bowl to make a suspension.
Beat the arrowroot powder slurry into the simmering sauce and cook until slightly thickened. Take the sauce off the heat.
Coat some of the sauce on the salmon fillets, covering all of the surfaces except the skin. (You’ll have extra sauce so make sure you pour some out so you don’t contaminate the remaining sauce with raw fish.)
Warm the air fryer to 400°F. Spray the inside of the air fryer basket with some avocado oil.
Lay the salmon fillets in a single layer, skin-side down.
Air fry the filets at 400°F for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches about 125°F for medium. Thin fillets that are less than 1-inch thick will cook in about 5 minutes and thicker fillets (1½-inches thick or more) can take about 8 to 10 minutes. Err on the side of checking earlier rather than later! (No instant-read thermometer? Use a fork to check that the meat is barely cooked through. You want moist flakes!)
Taste for seasoning and brush on more reserved sauce if desired. Feel free to finish the fillets with toasted sesame seeds.
