Instructions

1

Pat the salmon thoroughly dry — surface moisture is the enemy of crispness.

2

Lightly oil the salmon so the surface crisps and the honey soy clings later.

3

Arrange in a single layer with space between pieces and cook at 200 °C (390 °F) for 9 minutes until it flakes easily and reaches 63 °C (145 °F).

9:00
4

In the last 3–4 minutes, brush generously with 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 clove garlic, 1 tsp grated ginger and return to the basket so it caramelises without burning.

5

Serve hot with Sriracha mayo on the side. Best straight from the basket while crisp.

Common Questions

What temperature do you air fry salmon at?
Set the air fryer to 200 °C (390 °F) and cook for about 9 minutes, until it flakes easily and reaches 63 °C (145 °F).
Can I cook this in batches?
Yes — keep a single layer with space between pieces. Overcrowding steams instead of crisps, so cook in batches if your basket is small.
Can I make Honey Soy salmon ahead of time?
Yes. Cook as directed, then warm the pieces through in the air fryer for 3–4 minutes before serving to bring back the crisp edges.
The story behind this recipe ▾
Air frying salmon works because rapidly circulating hot air dehydrates the surface and renders fat, producing a crisp exterior at 200 °C without submerging in oil. Honey Soy is added so the seasoning concentrates as moisture leaves.
