This air fryer honey garlic salmon is tender, flavorful, and ready in minutes. A perfect weeknight dinner the whole family will love.
Ingredients
- 4 (6 oz each) Skin-On Salmon Fillets
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, finely minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
- 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and black pepper until fully combined into a smooth glaze.
- Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt on all sides. Place them in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour about two-thirds of the honey garlic glaze over the top, turning to coat. Reserve the remaining glaze for later. Let the salmon marinate for 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature.
- Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F for 3 minutes. Lightly spray the basket or tray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each fillet. Discard the used marinade.
- Air fry for 7 to 9 minutes, depending on thickness. At the 5-minute mark, brush the tops of the fillets with the reserved fresh glaze. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
- Remove the salmon from the air fryer and let it rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
