US Customary - Metric

Ingredients

12 oz. salmon fillets 2 fillet, about 6 ounces each
Pinch kosher salt
Pinch black pepper
1 tablespoon honey or alternatively, brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
½ tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
½ tablespoon soy sauce low sodium
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Pinch ground ginger optional

Instructions

With paper towels, pat the salmon dry. Sprinkle lightly on both sides with salt and pepper.
For easy cleanup, line the air fryer basket with aluminum foil. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F according to the manufacturer’s instructions
In a small bowl or larger liquid measuring cup, mix together the honey, Dijon, oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, and ginger (if using). Spoon all over the top of the salmon.
Slide out the air fryer basket and set it on a heatproof surface. Place the fillets in the basket so that they are not touching.
Cook the salmon in the air fryer for 6 to 11 minutes, depending upon their thickness and your model (fillets around 1 inch will need 8 to 9 minutes). Do not overcook or the salmon will be dry. Salmon is done when it registers 145 degrees F on an instant read thermometer Check it a few times towards the end to make sure it doesn’t overcook, but is done to your desires.
Transfer to a serving plate. Enjoy hot, with a sprinkle of additional salt and pepper as desired.
