Ingredients
Method
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them in a shallow dish and pour half of the honey garlic sauce over the salmon, reserving the other half. Let marinate for 5 minutes.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 minutes.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the marinated salmon fillets in the basket skin-side down, making sure they are not touching each other.
- Cook the salmon at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes, depending on thickness, until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit and flakes easily with a fork.
- During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the reserved honey garlic sauce over the salmon fillets. Continue cooking until the glaze is slightly caramelized.
- Remove the salmon from the air fryer and let rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Notes
Do not overcook the salmon or it will become dry. Check for doneness at 8 minutes for thinner fillets. The honey garlic sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For extra caramelization, brush additional sauce on the salmon halfway through cooking. Serve with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
