Salmon fillets cook fast in the air fryer, turning flaky inside with lightly crisped edges, while a simmered raspberry balsamic glaze adds a fruity, tangy contrast. The glaze comes together in minutes on the stovetop while the salmon cooks, making this suited to weeknight dinners that still feel special. Serve over rice or alongside roasted vegetables to soak up the extra glaze.

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, for garnish

Method

  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then rub them with olive oil and season both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes.

  3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer, mashing the raspberries with a spoon as they soften.

  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer the glaze, stirring occasionally, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.

  5. Strain the glaze through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing out the liquid and discarding the raspberry seeds. Set aside.

  6. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket, spacing them apart so they don't touch.

  7. Air fry the salmon at 400°F until it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.

  8. Brush the air-fried salmon generously with the raspberry balsamic glaze.

  9. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves and serve immediately with any extra glaze on the side.
