Grilled Salmon with Lemon, Soy Sauce and Brown Sugar (Airfryer Version)

-
My whole family love salmon, especially grilled salmon. There are many ways of marinating salmon, and my family's favorite marinade is lemon, soy sauce and brown sugar. 


The recipe is so simple, equal part of soy sauce, water and brown sugar,  fresh lemon juice and some olive oil. Salmon absorbs and retains the flavors of the marinade, looks gorgeous and tastes delicious.

In normal oven, you usually have to flip salmon during grilling.  With Airfryer grill pan, you don't.  Just set timer for 8 minutes, and out came the salmon fillets grilled to its perfection!  The skin is crispy, the meat is moist and succulent.  I am obsessed by my new kitchen helper. It makes cooking more fun and satisfying!    





AIRFRYER GRILLED SALMON 

Ingredients
  • 2 Salmon fillets (~200g each)
  • garlic powder, black pepper and salt to taste
  • fresh squeezed lemon juice from 1 large lemon
  • 1/3 cup light soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  •  scallion slices and cherry tomato for garnish

Directions
  1. Wash and pat the salmon dry with paper towels.  Season the salmon fillets with black pepper, garlic powder, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, water, lemon juice and oil until sugar is dissolved.  Pour into a shallow dish. Place salmon in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate  for at least 2 hours.
  3. Preheat airfryer at 180°C
  4. Arrange the fish fillets on airfryer grill pan. Slide the pan into the airfryer and set timer for 8 minutes.
  5. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with scallion slices. Serve.

    Hi Melissa,

    I guess so. I used grill pan instead. If you do not have a grill pan, you can place a layer of aluminum foil on the fryer basket. Do not cover the fryer basket totally, leave some space for the air to flow.

    Those edges look perfect on that salmon! No one would believe this was cooked in an air fryer. The soy sauce and brown sugar sound like a perfect sweet and tangy blend. I can't wait to try this out!

Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) is still 20 days away, but Singapore is already getting ready for the Year of Horse. CNY decorations are all over the shopping malls, very pretty and impressive. As a home baker, it's time for me to bake CNY cookies . As usual, pineapple tarts are the top in my baking list. This year, I decided to try a different recipe.  Actually, I saw this recipe from Sonia's blog ( Nasi Lemak Lover ) last year. She said it's the "Best Melt-in-the-Mouth" pineapple tart recipe. As I have already finished baking  pineapple tarts  with my own recipe then, so did not have the chance to try.  A few days ago, Zoe from Bake For Happy Kids  shared her experience of baking pineapple tarts with 3 popular recipes. One of them is Sonia's.  Zoe provided a comparison table with ingredients and method used in each recipe, and concluded that Sonia's recipe yields the best melt-in-...

Knowing that I bake muffins, a friend recommended me to try the muffins from Chocolat N' Spice at Shunfu market.  He said Shunfu market - a neighbourhood hawker center,  is famous because of the muffin store.  The snake queue in front of  the muffin store has become an unique scenery of this quiet hawker center. People queueing for muffins? Out of curiosity, I dropped by the store one day during lunch time. Over the one hour stay at the hawer center, I observed an average of 8-9 people in the queue. It has never shortened until all the muffins were sold out.  I bought one box of 6 muffins of different flavours,  priced from $1.30 to $1.60 each.  I chose Chocolate Chip, Double Chocolate, Banana Walnut,  Blueberry, Mocha and Cheese . These freshly baked muffins are large, soft with golden domed top, so enticing. Shared with colleagues, everyone was asking me when I would make the next the...
