Description

This Savory Air Fryer Honey Mustard Salmon recipe offers a quick and flavorful way to enjoy perfectly cooked salmon in just 10 minutes after marinating. The combination of honey, whole grain Dijon mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and lemon juice creates a deliciously tangy and slightly sweet marinade that enhances the tender, flaky salmon fillets. Ideal for a healthy dinner, this recipe uses an air fryer to achieve a golden, caramelized finish without added oils, making it both convenient and nutritious.

Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 2 fillets Salmon (5-8 oz. each)

Marinade

  • 3 tablespoons Honey
  • 2 tablespoons Whole grain Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, combine honey, whole grain Dijon mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and lemon juice. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  2. Marinate the salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the bowl with the marinade and coat them thoroughly. Allow the salmon to sit and absorb the flavors for 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and allow it to preheat fully for even cooking.
  4. Arrange the salmon in the air fryer: Place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket. Use a brush to baste the tops of the fillets with any remaining marinade.
  5. Air fry the salmon: Cook the salmon fillets in the air fryer for 7 to 8 minutes. The salmon is ready when it is golden brown on the outside and easily flakes with a fork.
  6. Serve immediately: Remove the salmon from the air fryer, drizzle with any leftover sauce, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy while hot.

Notes

  • Marinating the salmon for 30 minutes allows the flavors to penetrate and enhances the taste.
  • If you prefer a less sweet flavor, reduce the amount of honey slightly.
  • Ensure that your air fryer basket is not overcrowded to allow even air circulation and cooking.
  • Salmon fillet thickness may affect cooking time; thicker fillets might need an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • For a crispier texture, you can flip the salmon halfway through cooking, but it’s not necessary.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
