Ingredients

Eel Fillets

2 fillet eel fillets approximately 6 oz each
2 cucchiaio soy sauce
1 cucchiaio honey
1 cucchiaino sesame oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cucchiaino grated ginger
1 cucchiaino salt to taste
1 cucchiaino pepper to taste
1 cucchiaino sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Equipment

Air Fryer

Method

In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger to create a marinade.
Place the eel fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Remove the eel from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the eel fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, skin-side down if applicable.
Air fry the eel fillets at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the air fryer and let rest for a minute. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
