Ingredients

  • 4 (4 ounce) fillets frozen salmon fillets

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Glaze:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • cup bourbon

  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce, or more to taste

  • 1 pinch salt

Directions

  1. Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5 minutes.

  2. Sprinkle salmon fillets with salt and pepper and place into the air fryer basket.

  3. Air-fry for 6 minutes, or 8 minutes if the fillets are thick.

  4. Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in bourbon, maple syrup, Sriracha, and salt. Continue stirring while glaze comes to boil. As soon as it boils, immediately lower heat to medium-low, and cook until glaze has thickened, about 10 minutes.

  5. Brush glaze onto salmon fillets using a silicon brush. Lower air fryer temperature to 370 degrees F (187 degrees C) and air-fry for an additional 6 minutes, or 8 minutes if the fillets are thick.
