Serves 3-4
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons honey
- 1.5 teaspoons fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Japanese mayo
- 4 salmon fillets
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Marinade:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, salt, black pepper, and Japanese mayo. This rich, savoury marinade will be key to locking in all the delicious flavours.
2. Cut the Salmon:
Slice the salmon fillets into 3cm pieces. This size allows for quick, even cooking in the air fryer.
3. Marinate the Salmon:
Place the salmon pieces in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Let the salmon marinate for at least 30 minutes. For the best flavour, try marinating for 2-4 hours in the refrigerator.
4. Air Fry the Salmon:
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (356°F). Remove the salmon from the marinade and place the pieces in the air fryer basket. Cook for 7-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets, until the salmon is flaky and cooked through.
5. Serve with Your Favourite Sides:
While the salmon is cooking, prepare some steamed rice or roasted vegetables for a complete, balanced meal. The rich flavours of the salmon pair perfectly with a simple side.
