Air Fryer Salmon Ingredients
How To Cook Air Fryer Salmon
1. Combine maple syrup, soy sauce, sriracha, and garlic in a small bowl. Pour the mixture into a gallon-sized resealable bag and add the salmon fillets. Seal and shake to coat. Marinate for 20 to 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
2. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil, remove the salmon from the bag, pat it dry with paper towels, and discard the marinade.
3. Place the fillets in the air fryer, ensuring they are spaced out. Air fry at 400°F for 7 to 8 minutes or until cooked through.
4. While the salmon cooks, simmer the reserved marinade in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it thickens into a glaze, about 1 to 2 minutes. Spoon the glaze over the salmon just before serving.

Tips and Tricks
- Preheat your air fryer first—this helps the salmon cook evenly and gives it that nice, crispy exterior.
- Make sure to pat the salmon dry after marinating. This little step is key to getting that perfect crispy texture.
- To check if your salmon’s done, see if it flakes easily with a fork. If you’re not sure, you can always use a meat thermometer; it should hit 145°F.
- Go easy on the oil—just a light spray will do the trick to keep the salmon from sticking, without adding a ton of extra calories.
- For the best flavor, drizzle the warm glaze over the salmon right before serving. You’ll love the extra kick it adds!
