Estimated. Worked out from the ingredients using the UK food composition tables, so treat it as a guide rather than a measurement. A typical recipe lands within about a quarter of the true figure. Makes about 2.
Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets (about 150g each)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Cooking Steps
In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and pepper to create the glaze.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Brush the glaze generously over each salmon fillet, coating them well.
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F).
Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping.
Air fry at 200°C (400°F) for 8-10 minutes, flipping the fillets halfway through for even cooking.
Once done, let the salmon rest for a few minutes and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Optional Enhancements
- Maple syrup can be used instead of honey for a vegan option.
- Tamari can replace soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
- You can add sesame oil to the glaze for an extra layer of flavor.
Plant & Growing Tips
Green Onions
- Plant sets in well-draining soil in full sun after the last frost for best growth.
- Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged by watering regularly.
- Green onions grow well in containers at least 6 inches deep, making them suitable for small spaces.
Natural Pest Control
- Hand-pick any onion thrips or leaf miners you observe on the foliage.
- Use row covers early in the season to protect young plants from onion maggot flies.
- Companion plant with carrots, lettuce, or chamomile to deter onion flies.
Harvest
Green Onions
- Snip outer leaves with scissors as needed, leaving the bulb in the ground to regrow for a continuous harvest.
- For larger scallions, pull the entire plant when the white base is about 1/2 inch thick.
Storing & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 3-4 minutes at 160°C (320°F) to maintain crispness.
