Place the salmon filets in the air fryer basket skin-side down and air fry them for 7-9 minutes until cooked through.
In the meantime, add all sauce ingredients to a pan and stir until combined. Then bring the sauce to a very gentle simmer and let it thicken. Make sure to not burn the sauce. You can add some cornstarch slurry (equal parts water and cornstarch whisked together) to thicken the sauce if it doesn't thicken naturally or the sauce starts to burn.
