Equipment

Air Fryer
Basting brush
Small bowl
Serving plate
Paper towels
Kitchen spatula

Ingredients

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

Instructions

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.
In a bowl, combine honey and Dijon mustard to make your honey mustard glaze.
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.
Position the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket using a spatula. Brush them with the honey mustard glaze.
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.
Remove the salmon from the air fryer using a spatula. Serve while hot, and enjoy!
