Air Fryer Honey Garlic Salmon
- Cook Time: 22 minutes
- Total Time: 22 minutes
- Diet: Gluten-Free
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and olive oil until the honey is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle the fillets evenly with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Brush about half of the honey garlic glaze over the tops and sides of the salmon.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes. Lightly grease the air fryer basket with a small amount of oil or use a perforated parchment liner. Place the salmon fillets in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching so air can circulate freely.
- Cook the salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 8 minutes. Open the basket and brush the remaining honey garlic glaze over the fillets. Continue to cook for another 2 to 4 minutes, or until the salmon reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the glaze is bubbly and slightly browned.
- Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer. Let it rest for 2 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or sliced green onions for a pop of color and freshness.
