Ingredients

4 (4 ounce) fillets frozen salmon fillets
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
0.33 cup bourbon
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce, or more to taste
1 pinch salt

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then place them in the air fryer basket.
Air fry for 6 minutes, or up to 8 minutes for thicker fillets, until cooked through.
While the salmon cooks, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add bourbon, maple syrup, Sriracha, and salt, stirring to combine. Bring the glaze to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes.
Using a silicone brush, generously brush the maple-bourbon glaze onto the salmon fillets. Reduce the air fryer temperature to 370°F (187°C) and continue air frying for another 6 minutes, or 8 minutes for thick fillets, until the glaze is nicely set.
