Start with about 2 lbs of salmon, cutting it into portions if necessary.

Pat the salmon dry with paper towels to absorb moisture.

Add a little olive oil on top of the salmon to act as a binder for the spices.

4

Sprinkle tahini seasoning on top of the salmon and rub it in to ensure even coverage.

5

Let the salmon come to room temperature for more even cooking.

6

Juice one or two limes into a bowl, rolling them first to maximize juice extraction.

7

Add a couple of tablespoons of honey to the lime juice and mix well to create a glaze.

8

Heat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat and place the salmon skin-side down in the pan.

9

Cook the salmon for about 2-3 minutes until the skin is crispy.

10

Transfer the salmon to an air fryer set at 415°F for about 5 minutes to cook the top.

Brush the glaze over the salmon during the last minute of cooking in the air fryer.
