Name: Air-Fryer Honey-Glazed Salmon with Snap Peas and Radishes
Total time: 25 min
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons honey; 1 tablespoon tahini; 1 tablespoon soy sauce; 1 teaspoon lime juice , plus lime wedges for serving; 2 (4- to 6-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets , 1 to 1½ inches thick; 8 ounces sugar snap peas , strings removed; 8 radishes , trimmed and quartered; 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil; ⅛ teaspoon table salt; 2 scallions , sliced thin; 1 tablespoon sesame seeds , toasted

Why This Recipe Works

The air fryer's direct heat caramelized the glaze's sugars from above while the circulated air cooked our salmon from all sides. We brushed the glaze on the fish once before cooking and then again halfway through. After about 8 minutes, our glazed fish had browned edges and a tender interior. While the salmon rested, we roasted fresh snap peas and radishes until they were crisp- tender so that they retained their green and pink hues and complemented the orange salmon beautifully for a vivid and appetizing plate.

Before You Begin

If using wild salmon, cook it until it registers 120 degrees. This recipe can be easily doubled.

Instructions

Make sling for air-fryer basket by folding 1 long sheet of aluminum foil so it is 4 inches wide. Lay sheet of foil widthwise across basket, pressing foil into and up sides of basket. Fold excess foil as needed so edges of foil are flush with top of basket.

Whisk honey, tahini, soy sauce, and lime juice together in bowl. Measure out 2 tablespoons glaze for cooking; set aside remaining glaze for serving. Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Brush flesh side of salmon with 1 tablespoon glaze for cooking. Arrange salmon, skin side down, on prepared sling. Place basket into air fryer, set temperature to 400 degrees, and cook for 5 minutes.

Brush salmon with remaining 1 tablespoon glaze for cooking. Return basket to air fryer and cook until salmon is well browned and center is still translucent when checked with tip of paring knife and registers 125 degrees (for medium- rare), 3 to 5 minutes.

Using sling, carefully remove salmon from air fryer. Slide fish spatula along underside of salmon and transfer to serving platter, leaving skin behind. Tent with foil and let rest while preparing peas and radishes.

Toss peas and radishes with oil and salt in bowl and arrange in even layer in now-empty basket. Return basket to air fryer and cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer vegetables to platter with salmon and sprinkle salmon with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve with lime wedges and reserved glaze.
