Quick and Flavorful Air Fryer Salmon

This honey garlic salmon features marinated fillets cooked in an air fryer until perfectly flaky and caramelized. The recipe takes about 20 minutes from start to finish and serves 2 people.

Ingredients

2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
2 tablespoons honey
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped green onions for garnish optional
Sesame seeds for garnish optional

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

Arrange Salmon in Air Fryer: Place the marinated salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, skin side down, ensuring they are not overlapping.
Cook the Salmon: Air fry the salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Cook until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve: Carefully remove the salmon from the basket and serve immediately, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
