👩🍳 Instructions
1
Pat the salmon fillets dry thoroughly with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, and smoked paprika (if using) until smooth and well combined.
3
Brush about half of the honey mustard glaze generously over the top and sides of the salmon fillets. Reserve the remaining glaze for serving.
4
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes. Lightly grease the air fryer basket with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
5
Carefully place the glazed salmon fillets in a single layer in the preheated air fryer basket. Ensure there is space between fillets; cook in batches if necessary.
6
Air fry for 8-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary based on the thickness of the fillets and your air fryer model. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
7
Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer. Drizzle with the reserved honey mustard glaze before serving. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or chives if desired.
