Equipment

  • air fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 2 7-oz. pieces Atlantic salmon, skin on thawed if frozen
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 spray cooking spray

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. If using frozen salmon, allow it to thaw in the refrigerator before cooking.
  • Gather marinade ingredients: soy sauce, brown sugar, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Spoon the marinade mixture over the salmon filets, gently rubbing it onto the salmon until it’s fully coated.
  • Spray your salmon and your air fryer crisper plate with your cooking oil of choice and position the salmon skin side down in your air fryer.
  • Air fry for 7-8 minutes. At the halfway mark, baste your salmon with more marinade and then continue cooking.
  • Check for doneness; cook longer if needed (1-2 minutes).

Notes

I found fresh Atlantic salmon on a good sale, so that's what I used. I often find frozen salmon to be cheaper-- just thaw before using.
