This recipe was originally going to be soy glazed salmon bites. But then I was too lazy to cut the salmon… so here we are with this soy glazed salmon instead.
This is what I make when I’m hungry but don’t really feel like cooking. Toss the salmon fillets in the air fryer, then finish them in a savory, sweet, spicy, garlicky, beautiful glaze.
The whole thing comes together in about 15 minutes but tastes like it took way more effort than that. Serve it over microwaved frozen rice with some microwaved frozen edamame on the side, and you’ve got an easy, balanced meal ready to go.
Hot Honey Soy Glazed Salmon
Ready in 15 minutes or less, this salmon is glazed in a simple soy-garlic sauce with a hint of hot honey. Serve over rice with a side of edamame for a quick and easy, satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Pat both sides of the salmon dry with a paper towel and season the surface with salt and pepper.
-
Air fry the salmon at 400°F for 7-8 minutes, or until nearly cooked through.The salmon won't be fully cooked through at this point. It'll continue cooking in the sauce later!
-
While the salmon cooks, add the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, Shaoxing wine (or mirin), hot honey, garlic, and corn starch to a pan. Stir until the corn starch is dissolved. Stir in the water. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.
-
Transfer the salmon to the pan with the sauce, skin side up. Cook, turning to coat all sides, until the sauce has thickened and the salmon is glazed. Spoon the extra sauce over the top of the salmon.
-
Serve the salmon over rice and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
