Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 (6 oz) frozen salmon fillets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for 3 minutes. Brush frozen salmon fillets all over with olive oil. Mix garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, then sprinkle onto the fillets and press lightly.
  2. Place fillets in the air fryer basket, skin side down if applicable, leaving space between them. Air fry for 6 minutes.
  3. Whisk honey, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Brush the glaze over the fillets, then air fry for another 5 to 6 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily and reads 130°F (54°C) for medium.
  4. Transfer fillets to plates, drizzle over any remaining glaze from the basket, and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

If your fillets are very thick (over 1¼ inches), add 2 to 3 minutes to the final cook time. For well-done salmon, cook until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C). The glaze is optional but worth including for its sticky, savory finish.
