1 air fryer
1 mixing bowl
1 basting brush

Ingredients

For the Glaze

1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tbsp lemon juice

For the Salmon

4 salmon fillets
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preparation

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Using a basting brush, generously apply the glaze over each salmon fillet, ensuring an even coating.

Cooking

Set your air fryer to 400°F and allow it to preheat for about 3 minutes.
Place the glazed salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized.

Serving

Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and serve immediately with your choice of sides.

Storage

Place any leftover salmon in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Notes

Pro Tips: Use fresh salmon for the best flavor and texture. Make sure the glaze covers the salmon entirely for even caramelization.
Ingredient Substitutions: If soy sauce is unavailable, tamari or coconut aminos are good alternatives.
How to Serve: Pair with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Storage & Freshness: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare the glaze ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
