Air Fryer Cajun Honey Butter Salmon
This sweet and spicy salmon is irresistibly flavorful and ready in under 15 minutes. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner that feels fancy.
Ingredients
- 4 Salmon Fillets (6 oz each, skin-on)
- 1 tbsp Cajun Seasoning
- 1/2 tsp Salt
For the Honey Butter
- 3 tbsp Butter (melted)
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Lemon Juice
- 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
- Fresh Parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- Lemon Wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Pat the salmon fillets dry and season the flesh side generously with cajun seasoning and salt. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the air fryer to 390F. Place the salmon skin-side down in the basket and air fry for 8-10 minutes, depending on thickness, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the top has a slightly crispy crust.
- While the salmon cooks, whisk together the melted butter, honey, garlic, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.
- As soon as the salmon comes out, spoon the honey butter generously over each fillet so it melts and pools around the fish.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
