Air Fryer Salmon with Brown Sugar Glaze

Air Fryer Salmon with Brown Sugar Glaze is sweet and really simple way to enjoy a family dinner with salmon in under 20 minutes.

This Air Fryer Salmon with Brown Sugar Glaze is only 5 ingredients and one of the easiest dishes you can make but still has loads of flavor. The brown sugar adds a lovely sweetness and a crispy caramelized texture in some spots from that sugar reacting to heat that is pretty darn good.

There isn’t even a whole bunch to talk about with this Air Fryer Salmon with Brown Sugar Glaze recipe- it’s just easy peasy and delicious. I do recommend buying a good piece of salmon. Look for a wild caught King Chinook if you are on the West Coast or Sockeye if on season with great marbling. The coloring should be a vibrant pink tone and when poked, it should bounce back and not leave a finger indention behind.
