Ingredients
Scale
Salmon Fillets:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
Honey Mustard Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard (optional)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For Serving:
- Chopped parsley and lemon wedges (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Honey Mustard Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard (if using), honey, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Prep the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush the honey mustard glaze generously over each fillet, reserving a little for after cooking if desired.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil.
- Cook the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the basket, leaving space between them. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Final Touches: Brush with remaining glaze after cooking, if desired. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
- For a caramelized glaze, brush on extra honey mustard in the final 2 minutes of cooking.
- Pairs well with roasted vegetables, rice, or a simple side salad.
