Description

A tantalizing blend of sweetness and tang, this Air Fryer Honey Mustard Salmon elevates any dinner table.


Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets (5-8 oz. each)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Combine the honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl to create the sauce.
  2. Marinate the salmon fillets in two-thirds (2/3) of the sauce for 30 minutes, or toss them in the remaining sauce until fully coated.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F to create an optimal cooking environment for the salmon.
  4. Place the marinated salmon fillets in the air fryer.
  5. Baste the remaining marinade onto the salmon fillets for extra flavor.
  6. Air fry for 7-8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon.
  7. Serve the salmon hot, drizzled with the remaining sauce.

Notes

For best results, allow salmon to marinate for at least 30 minutes. Consider using skin-on fillets for extra texture and moisture.
