Equipment

  • 1 air fryer
  • 1 mixing bowl small
  • 1 whisk

Ingredients
  

Salmon

  • 4 salmon fillets about 6 ounces each
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Honey Mustard Glaze

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, soy sauce, and garlic powder until smooth.

Serving

  • Transfer the salmon to a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.

Storage

  • Place leftover salmon in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at a low temperature to maintain moisture.

Notes

Pro Tips: Always preheat your air fryer for even cooking. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the salmon; it should reach 145°F.
Ingredient Substitutions: Coconut aminos can replace soy sauce for a soy-free option. Use maple syrup instead of honey for a different flavor.
How to Serve: Pair with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Storage & Freshness: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare the glaze ahead of time to save on prep time during busy evenings.
