Equipment

Ingredients

  • juice of 2 oranges (about 1/2 cup)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 salmon filets
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cold water

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the orange juice in a medium bowl. Add the honey, soy sauce, garlic powder and parsley and whisk until incorporated. Set aside.
    juice of 2 oranges, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 tablespoon parsley
  • Add oil to an 8” pie pan, then place the salmon fillets in the pan. Pour sauce over the fillets.
    1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 salmon filets
  • Place the pan in the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes until cooked through (see Notes).
  • Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl.
    2 teaspoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon cold water
  • Remove the cooked salmon from the pan and whisk the cornstarch slurry into the juices. The cornstarch mixture will thicken the juices into a sauce consistency.

Notes

  • If you don’t have a citrus juicer, use a small whisk to extract the juice by pushing it into the orange halves and turning.
  • Substitute 1/2 - 2/3 cup of orange juice if you don't have fresh oranges.
  • Use similarly sized filets to ensure even cooking.
  • Make sure the 8” pie pan will fit in your air fryer basket. Use a smaller pan if needed.
  • Don’t overcook the salmon. It's done when it reaches 145 degrees F, is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350 degrees F for 3-5 minutes.
