Ingredients
Scale
Salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (195°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. This is your glaze.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Brush half of the honey mustard glaze evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
Place the salmon in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry for 8 minutes.
Remove the basket and brush the remaining glaze over the salmon.
Return to the air fryer and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized.
Serve immediately and enjoy the memory!
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the glaze.
Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your salmon fillets.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for best results.
