Air Fried Salmon in XO Butter with broccolini and Edamame Beans

Ingredients

• 3 X 180g of salmon fillets, skinless
• Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp Kewpie Sesame Soy Japanese Dressing
• 1 bunch broccolini
• XO BUTTER SAUCE
• 125 mls Lee Kum Kee XO Seafood Sauce
• 1 tbsp caster sugar
• 1 tbsp fish sauce
• 100g unsalted butter, at room temp, diced
• AIR FRIED EDAMAME
• 1 cup frozen or fresh edamame beans
• 1 tsp sea salt
• Extra olive oil for broccolini and XO butter

Method

1. Pre-heat the air fryer for the salmon at 180 C for 3 minutes.
2. Brush olive oil to both sides of salmon, then season with Kewpie Sesame Soy Japanese Dressing. Add the salmon fillets to the air fryer and cook for 8-10 minutes
3. Cut the broccolini into long stems. Drizzle with olive oil and add to the air fryer for 7-8 minutes with the salmon.
4. Meanwhile, prepare the edamame for air frying. If using frozen edamame, place in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let stand for 2-3 minutes, then drain. Shell the beans, pat dry with kitchen paper and place the peas in a bowl. Toss with sea salt. Set aside.
5. Make the XO Butter, by putting a little olive oil into a saucepan over high heat, Stir in XO sauce, caster sugar and fish sauce and cook for 1 minute. Add the butter, then remove from heat and swirl the pan. The butter should melt into the sauce. Spoon the sauce onto a platter.
6. When the salmon is cooked, wrap in foil and let rest for a few minutes. Add the broccolini into the XO butter and lay it like a base for the salmon.
7. As the salmon is resting, cook the edamane peas. Add to air fryer at 180 C and cook for 8-10 minutes. Shake halfway. If you wish to, you can cook the edamame anytime before the salmon and broccolini. Even the day before.
8. When ready to serve, lay the salmon on top of the broccolini. Sprinkle the edamame into the XO butter sauce around the fish. Serve with hot steaming rice or noodles.
