Ingredients
  

For the Salmon:
  • 4 fillets salmon (3-5 ounces each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil, or cooking spray
  • 4 oranges juice juiced
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon parsley chopped
  • 4 teaspoons corn starch
  • 2 teaspoons water

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring spoons
  • Brush

Method
 

Cooking Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the juice of the four oranges, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, and parsley. Whisk until well blended.
  2. Step 2: Create the Glaze: In a separate small bowl, mix the corn starch and water together until smooth. Add this mixture to the marinade and stir well.
  3. Step 3: Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Prepare the Salmon Fillets: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Lightly brush or spray them with olive oil or avocado oil.
  5. Step 5: Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Cook the Salmon: Arrange the marinated salmon fillets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8-10 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!: Once cooked, carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top and serve hot.

Notes

  • Store leftover cooked salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in the air fryer or microwave to avoid drying it out.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly option.
