Ingredients

• 1 pound salmon fillet
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
• 0.5 cups mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1.5 teaspoons lime juice
• 0.5 cups panko , Japanese-style breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cups toasted sesame seeds
• cooking spray
• 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
• 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients.

2. 2

   Sprinkle salmon evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk together granulated garlic, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon lime juice, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Add salmon to mayonnaise mixture and gently toss to coat.

3. 3

   Stir together panko, sesame seeds, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a shallow bowl. Working in 4 batches, dredge salmon in panko mixture, gently pressing to adhere, and transfer to a large plate or baking sheet.

4. 4

   Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place half of salmon in basket, spaced at least 1 inch apart. Cook at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of salmon registers 125 degrees F (52 degrees C), about 5 minutes. Transfer cooked salmon to a plate, and repeat with remaining salmon.

5. 5

   While salmon cooks, stir together chili garlic sauce, honey, remaining 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon lime juice in a small bowl. Drizzle chili garlic mixture over cooked salmon and serve with lime wedges.
