Ingredients

• 1 pinch salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• ⅓ cup bourbon
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce, or more to taste
• 4 (4 ounce) fillets frozen salmon fillets

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5 minutes.

Step 2

Sprinkle salmon fillets with salt and pepper and place into the air fryer basket.

Step 3

Air-fry for 6 minutes, or 8 minutes if the fillets are thick.

Step 4

Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in bourbon, maple syrup, Sriracha, and salt. Continue stirring while glaze comes to boil. As soon as it boils, immediately lower heat to medium-low, and cook until glaze has thickened, about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Brush glaze onto salmon fillets using a silicon brush. Lower air fryer temperature to 370 degrees F (187 degrees C) and air-fry for an additional 6 minutes, or 8 minutes if the fillets are thick.
