Honey Garlic Salmon

Nine minutes in the air fryer and the glaze does the rest. The glaze goes on at the end, not the start, because honey burns long before salmon is cooked.

  3. Stir the honey, garlic, soy and vinegar together while it cooks.

  4. Brush the glaze over the fillets and air fry 2 minutes more, until it is bubbling and just catching at the edges.

  5. Rest 2 minutes, then scatter over the sesame seeds and green onion.

  6. Serve. The center should read 122 to 126°F for medium.
