Air Fryer Honey Mustard Salmon

Ingredients

• 10 oz salmon fillets ((2 small salmon fillets))
• 2 tsp honey
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar

Instructions

1. 1

   Place the salmon fillets on a plate and season evenly with salt and sugar. Let them sit for 15 minutes. This step draws out extra moisture and enriches the salmon's flavor.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine honey and Dijon mustard to make your honey mustard glaze.

3. 3

   After 15 minutes, preheat your air fryer—mine is the Instant Vortex Plus XL—to 360°F (180°C). Rinse the salmon under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

4. 4

   Position the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket using a spatula. Brush them with the honey mustard glaze.

5. 5

   Cook the salmon in the air fryer for about 6 minutes. The exact time might vary based on the thickness of the fillets and the air fryer model. Aim for an internal temperature of 130-140°F (55-60°C), ensuring the salmon remains slightly pink.

6. 6

   Remove the salmon from the air fryer using a spatula. Serve while hot, and enjoy!
