Tips and Tricks

How will I know when the fish is done? You can check with your finger or a fork by gently poking in the center of the fillet, seeing if it breaks into flakes.  Cook the glaze on Medium Low heat As the glaze has Honey in it which can burn, you need to cook on a medium low heat rather than a high heat.

Storage Instructions

Fridge Leftover Salmon keeps well in the fridge for three days in an airtight container.  Freezer  Although the flavour won’t be the same, you can tightly seal and freeze cooked salmon for 3 to 4 months. I would suggest that you leave the Sauce and add it fresh on the day.  To reheat Thaw in the fridge. Or reheat it on the stovetop or air fryer until just heated through.

FAQs

How do I shop for salmon?

Choose Salmon Fillets that are pink. Check the date! Give them a sniff. They should not have a smell to them.

Is Salmon sustainable?

You can check if your Salmon is sustainable by checking out UK suppliers here. MSC labelled salmon comes from a fishery that has been independently certified to the MSC Fisheries Standard. This can be identified via a blue MSC sticker on the outer packaging.

Can I cook Jerk Honey Salmon in the Air Fryer?

Yes, Brush both sides of the salmon with glaze, and then Air fry at 200 C for 7-10 minutes. You can add the Sauce on top of the Salmon before placing in the Air Fryer. You don’t need to add the Onions or pre heat the Sauce. I often make this Tandoori Salmon in the Air Fryer.
