Head of food, delicious.

Salmon takes just six minutes in the air fryer, so all it needs is a quick marinade which will thicken to a sticky glaze as it cooks. Sweet with honey, fragrant with ginger and seasoned with umami-rich soy and oyster sauce, it’s a knockout that’s ready in a flash.

Method

Cut the salmon into bite-size pieces and put in a bowl. Mix together the honey, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sriracha, sesame oil, garlic and ginger, then pour this over the salmon, reserving 1 tbsp to finish. Stir to coat, then set aside for 15 minutes to marinate.
Heat the air fryer to 200°C. Put the salmon in the basket in a single layer, then cook for 6 minutes. If you like, you can brush any leftover marinade from the bowl onto the salmon after 4 minutes, then cook the salmon for 2 minutes more for extra flavour.
Serve the salmon bites on a bed of rice sprinkled with spring onions, sesame seeds and the remaining 1 tbsp marinade.

Cook smarter

Air fryers always work best when the food is in a single, even layer with a bit of space between each piece. You can scale this recipe up and down easily, but work in batches if your air fryer isn’t big enough. We used a 4.2 litre air fryer, which was big enough to cook all the salmon in a single batch.
