For best results, ensure the salmon fillets are evenly sized for consistent cooking. Adjust the amount of Sriracha to your preferred level of spice. The glaze can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before using. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple salad for a complete meal.

Jun 27, 2025I found that 7 minutes at 400 and then 7 minutes at 370 was the sweet spot for my air fryer and the thickness of my salmon.

Jun 27, 2025Be careful not to overcook the salmon; it dries out quickly in the air fryer.
