Ingredients
2 skin-on salmon fillets (about 1/2 pound)
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp ginger paste
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 cup cold water
1 tbsp corn starch
sesame seeds, optional
Instructions
Brush the salmon filets with olive oil and sprinkle with salt
Line the basket with a piece of parchment paper
Place the salmon filets in the basket, make sure they aren’t touching each other of the sides of the basket
Set air fryer to 400°F and fry for 8 minutes
While the salmon in frying add the maple syrup, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger and garlic to a small heavy bottomed sauce pan
Heat over medium heat, whisking
Allow the sauce to come to a boil
Combine the cold water and corn starch to form a slurry
Pour the slurry into the glaze, whisk and bring back to a boil
As soon as it reaches a boil again, reduce the heat to a low simmer, the glaze will thicken

Brush the salmon with a thick coating of the maple glaze
Sprinkle the salmon with sesame seeds
Plate the salmon, serve over plain white or brown rice with a side of steamed green beans
