Instructions

  1. Step 1: Whisk 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a small bowl until combined. Stir in 1 tablespoon cornstarch until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets on a parchment-lined air fryer basket, skin-side down. Brush each fillet evenly with the glaze mixture.
  3. Step 3: Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Cook salmon for 10-12 minutes, flipping once after 5 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and glaze is golden.
  4. Step 4: Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cups chopped bok choy and 2 tablespoons water, cover, and steam for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. Step 5: Slice salmon and serve over steamed bok choy, drizzling with any remaining glaze and sprinkling with 1 teaspoon sesame seeds.
