Cooking Time
Around 15 mins
Core Ingredients
Flavour Bomb
Ingredients
  • 1 salmon fillet per person
  • 1 tbsp gochujang (Korean fermented chili paste)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
  • Optional Garnish: sesame seeds and chopped spring onions to garnish
Method
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for 2–3 minutes.
  2. Mix the gochujang, soy sauce, and sesame oil (optional) together in a small bowl.
  3. Pat dry the salmon fillet with paper towel. Place it skin-side down on a small piece of baking paper or foil (you need this to avoid a messy air fryer)
  4. Brush the glaze generously over the salmon.
  5. Air fry for 7–9 minutes, depending on thickness, until cooked through and slightly caramelised at the edges.
  6. Garnish with sesame seeds and spring onions if using. Serve immediately!
Pairings
  • Grains: microwave brown rice, lentil pouch, or mixed grain pouch
  • Veggies: steamed or air-fried green beans, spring greens, or a crunchy salad
  • Slaw: This goes great with a creamy cabbage slaw
  • Alternate Flavour Bombs: swap gochujang for miso paste for a milder version
Tips
  • 🐟 Batch it: Make 2–3 salmon fillets at once and eat cold the next day in a salad or grain bowl.
  • 🍚 Microwave your sides: Pair it with a ready-to-go rice pouch and frozen veg — no stove multitasking needed.
  • 🧹 Use baking paper: Put a piece under the salmon in the air fryer for easier cleanup and less scrubbing.
  • 🧠 Pre-mix the glaze: Mix a small jar of the glaze and keep it in the fridge for fast meals later in the week. The glaze can be used as a dipping sauce, on chicken wings, and keeps well in a jar for up to a month.
