Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring the skin crisps up nicely in the air fryer.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, minced garlic, honey, and sesame oil until well combined, creating a flavorful glaze.
Brush the soy mixture evenly over the top and sides of the salmon fillets, making sure to coat them well.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes to ensure it's hot and ready for cooking.
Place the salmon filts skin-side down into the air fryer basket, ensuring they aren't touching to allow for even crisping.
Cook the salmon at 400°F for 8 minutes, listening for the sizzle and aroma of the skin crisping up to a golden brown.
Once cooked, carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and let it rest for a minute to settle the juices.
Squeeze fresh lemon or lime over the salmon for a bright, zesty finish that complements the savory glaze.
Garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh, oniony crunch and vibrant color.
Serve immediately, enjoying the crispy skin, tender flesh, and glossy glaze with a side of rice or vegetables if desired.
