  • Take our salmon, flesh side up, and spread on the sauce on the fish. Then make sure to reserve about 1-2 tablespoons.
  • Place the salmon in air fryer basket or on trays, and air fry for 8-10 minutes or until the salmon is fully cooked.
  • Remove from the air fryer, drizzle with remaining sauce and green onions.

Oven Instructions

  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the salmon is fully cooked.

Notes

Spice - Use less Sriracha if you would prefer the salmon to be less spicy. Use 1 tablespoon or if you want spicy, use 2 tablespoons. 
Salmon - Depending on size of salmon and thickness the cook time can vary. Cook the salmon until it is fully done, then remove and serve. 
Storing Leftovers - Salmon can store for 1-2 days in the fridge in an airtight container.
