Instructions

Prepare the sesame orange glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange marmalade, sesame oil, rice vinegar, orange zest, and cayenne pepper. Divide mixture evenly into two bowls. Set aside.
Create a foil sling for your air fryer to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze. Fold a long piece of foil into thirds so it's about 4 inches wide. Place this into the bottom of your air fryer so that the long ends reach up the sides. Fold the edges down if they extend past the top of the air fryer basket. Next, fold a 2nd piece of foil to roughly cover the bottom of the basket and place it on top of the sling.
Air fry the salmon. Pre-heat the air fryer to 400°F. Once pre-heated, place the salmon fillets on top of the foil, skin side down. Brush with 1/2 of the the orange sesame glaze. Air fry for 10-14 minutes, depending on thickness, or until cooked through to an internal temperature of 125°F. (Mine took 12 mins.)
Serve. Using the foil sling like handles, remove the salmon from the air fryer basket. Gently slide a knife along the bottom of the salmon flesh, above the skin to remove the skin. Plate the cooked salmon fillets and brush with remaining orange sesame glaze. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion before serving.
