Air Fryer Sweet Chili Salmon image

This recipe has been a staple in the Tila house for years. Sweet chili sauce is a quick way to perk up plain salmon and asparagus. The sauce is the perfect balance of sweet, salt, spicy and tangy, and it's naturally gluten free, to boot. I prefer brands made in Thailand. To make this a complete meal, serve it with brown rice or quinoa.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 skinless salmon fillets (about 1 1/2 pounds)
8 asparagus spears, trimmed
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup Thai sweet chili sauce (see Cook's Note)
2 scallions, thinly sliced on the bias, for garnish
Cooked brown rice or quinoa, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat your air fryer to 375 to 390 degrees F on the fan setting, if available.
  • Place your salmon and asparagus in a large bowl. Sprinkle with the seasoned salt and pepper and toss to coat well. Pour in 1/2 cup of the sweet chili sauce (reserve the rest for glazing) and stir to coat well.
  • Arrange the salmon and asparagus in the air fryer so that nothing touches.
  • Air fry the salmon and asparagus for 6 to 10 minutes, or until they're browned on top and cooked through in the center.
  • Transfer the salmon and asparagus to a serving vessel and pour the reserved 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce over the top. Garnish with the scallions and serve with brown rice or quinoa.
