What is Special About Honey Glazed Air Fryer Salmon:

  • Easy and quick to make. Using an air fryer in this recipe is the quickest way to cook your fish and vegetables.
  • Healthy. Also, using an air fryer not only saves time but makes it a super healthy dish. You will not deep fry or fry your fish. This saves you from a lot of fat.
  • Brushed with a special delicious sauce. The honey added to this recipe gives the amazing sweet taste to your salmon. You will end up with a sticky shining glazed salmon with a unique taste that you will definitely enjoy.

Should You Keep the Salmon Skin or Remove it?

You can remove the skin and you can keep it. It is usually cooked with skin. If you decide to keep its skin, marinate it with skin up. This way the sauce you made is soaked into most parts of the fish or the salmon. The skin is tasty! It provides a lot of extra flavor and texture. I recommend keeping the skin and following my recipe.


Can You Use Fresh Garlic and Onion instead of Powder?

I don’t prefer this. Fresh garlic and onion may burn in the air fryer. Avoid the burnt flavor and use the garlic and onion powder for the special taste. Powders are more intense in flavor. Also, they are used in salad dressings, creamy dips, soups, and stews or as a base for marinades.


Air Fryers Vs. Deep Fryers

Air fryers cook food by high heat air. A fan placed at the top of the fryer blows super heated air at the food. Hot air moves around the food to cook it on all sides which also makes the outer shell crispy .

Deep fryers work by cooking different foods like chicken, potato chips, french fries, or more in  hot oil. Also, deep frying creates crisp shells from outside because it removes all moisture and water from the outer shell of the food.

Differences Between Air Fryers and Deep Fryers:

  • When you deep fry food, the food is fully bathed in hot oil, while air frying requires one tablespoon of oil or no oil.
  • Deep frying creates a crispier and thicker outer shell.
  • The Use of deep fryers is bound to fry food, whereas air fryers can be used in different ways like grilling and baking cakes and desserts!
  • Cleaning is much easier with air fryers! You will use a little amount of oil or no oil in air fryers so cleaning up is a super easy task. While in deep fryers, it wouldn’t be easy to find the suitable way to get rid of a large amount of oil.

So now what would you choose? Air fryers or deep fryers?


Tips on Cooking Salmon:

Adjust  the time of your air fryer according to how thick your salmon is. Thinner salmon needs less time.

I suggest cooking the salmon for a total of 10 minutes, but if you are cooking fish for the first time, I prefer checking the fish before the time is up ,for the air fryer may cook it faster sometimes. That depends on the type of the air fryer.

Keep your salmon fish in your freezer. It is super easy to thaw. So, when you decide to make this recipe or whenever you crave an easy and fast salmon dish, you can take it out from your freezer, thaw it, and make your dish in 10 minutes!


Frequently Asked Questions:

How long does a salmon stay good?

It is better to cook your fish after 1 or 2 days of buying it. When you cook it, you can store it in an air-tight container. In this way it will last for up to 3 days. Within these you can reheat it and add your favorite side dish like salads or some potatoes.

Can You Freeze Salmon?

For sure, you can freeze salmon for up to three months. But first be sure to store in an air-tight container or air-free zip locks. When you want to prepare you salmon meal, transfer salmon from the freezer to the fridge to thaw overnights

Can fish be cooked in an air fryer?

Yes! You can cook any type of fish in an air fryer. I think cooking in an air fryer is a smart choice. It is a time saver.
