Air fryer Sesame Salmon {gf,df}
Updated: Mar 19, 2021
I love a classic, grilled salmon, but every once in a while you’ve gotta spice it up. This recipe was inspired by one of my childhood faves: sesame chicken. However, this recipe uses more nutritious swaps, such as coconut aminos, raw honey, sesame oil, and garlic to achieve the perfect sesame flavor. The sauce is super simple to make, and the air fryer gets the job done in less than 15 minutes! Plus, it makes the salmon extra crispy. This sesame salmon pairs perfectly with just about any sides; you’re gonna love it.
