Air Fryer Salmon
Our new preferred method for cooking salmon. The glaze is excellent.
Ingredients
- 12 oz. salmon fillets 2 fillet, about 6 ounces each
- Pinch kosher salt
- Pinch black pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- ½ tablespoon soy sauce low sodium
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch ground ginger optional
Instructions
- With paper towels, pat the salmon dry. Sprinkle lightly on both sides with salt and pepper.
- For easy cleanup, line the air fryer basket with aluminum foil. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F according to the manufacturer’s instructions
- In a small bowl or larger liquid measuring cup, mix together the brown sugar, Dijon, oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, and ginger (if using). Spoon all over the top of the salmon.
- Slide out the air fryer basket and set it on a heatproof surface. Place the fillets in the basket so that they are not touching.
- Cook the salmon in the air fryer for 6 to 11 minutes, depending upon their thickness and your model (fillets around 1 inch will need 8 to 9 minutes). Do not overcook or the salmon will be dry. Salmon is done when it registers 145 degrees F on an instant read thermometer Check it a few times towards the end to make sure it doesn’t overcook, but is done to your desires.
- Transfer to a serving plate. Enjoy hot, with a sprinkle of additional salt and pepper as desired.
