Air Fryer Salmon With Sweet Tamarind Glaze
4.2
(8)
Inspired by the flavors of South Asia, air fryer salmon fillets are glazed with a sweet and tangy tamarind sauce and topped with crispy fried shallots. They’re accompanied by warm rice and a crunchy cucumber salad dressed with lime juice to make a simple and refreshing meal. An air fryer with a deep basket, like the Instant Air Fryer, will allow you to comfortably fit the two salmon fillets called for in this recipe, but you may be able to double the recipe for a larger toaster oven-style air fryer like the Smart Oven from Breville. Avoid squeezing in too many fillets in either case; there should be enough space to allow for efficient air circulation to help the fish cook well.
