Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• cooking spray
• aluminum foil
• 1 medium green onion, thinly sliced
• 2 (6 ounce) fillets salmon (1-inch thick)
• lemon juice (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 0.25 cup all fruit, no sugar added peach preserves
• 0.5 teaspoon Asian chili garlic sauce, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Stir peach preserves, minced garlic, powdered ginger, chili garlic sauce, and lemon juice together in a microwave-safe bowl until blended. Microwave on high for 30 to 35 seconds, or until boiling. Carefully remove from the microwave and stir again; set aside.

Step 2

Season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and place on the foil sling. Lightly spray with cooking spray.

Step 3

Lift the salmon filets from the air fryer using the sides of the foil sling.

Step 4

To serve, pour prepared glaze over fillets and use the remainder of the glaze as a sauce. Sprinkle fillets with sesame seeds and green onions and drizzle with lemon juice.

Step 5

Create a foil sling for the air fryer by cutting a piece of foil wide enough to cover the bottom of the air fryer basket and go up two sides about 2" inches. Spray the foil with cooking spray and place in the basket. Poke a few holes in the foil to align with the holes in the basket to allow airflow.

Step 6

Air fry at 390 degrees F (198 degrees C) for 8 minutes. Test for doneness with an instant read thermometer. Farmed salmon is "medium" at 125 degrees F (51 degrees C), and wild salmon is "medium" at 120 degrees F (48 degrees C). If needed, add air frying time in 3-minute increments, until salmon reaches preferred doneness.
