Here’s a simple and original recipe for Air Fryer Honey Mustard Salmon:
Ingredients:
2 salmon fillets (approximately 6 ounces each)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Cooking spray or a light brush of olive oil
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Salmon:
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
Season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
2. Make the Honey Mustard Sauce:
In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, and garlic powder.
Mix until well blended.
3. Coat the Salmon:
Brush the honey mustard sauce generously over the top and sides of each salmon fillet.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
5. Cook the Salmon:
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the coated salmon fillets in the basket, skin-side down if the skin is on.
Air fry for 7-9 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
6. Serve:
Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley or a slice of lemon.
Enjoy your meal!
