Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together honey, freshly squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic, and soy sauce. This mixture will create a sweet and tangy glaze for the salmon. If the honey is too thick, you can slightly warm it to make it easier to mix.
Season the Salmon: Lightly brush the salmon fillets with olive oil, and season them with salt and pepper. This will enhance the natural flavors of the salmon.
Marinate the Salmon: Pour the honey lemon mixture over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for about 15-30 minutes. The marinade will infuse the salmon with its flavors.
Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Preheating helps in cooking the salmon evenly.
Air Fry the Salmon: Place the marinated salmon fillets in the air fryer basket. Be careful not to overcrowd the basket. Air fry for about 7-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. There's no need to turn the salmon over during cooking.
Check for Doneness: The salmon is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Serve: Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the air fryer. Optionally, you can garnish it with fresh dill or parsley for added flavor and a touch of color.
Enjoy: Serve the Honey Lemon Salmon hot, perhaps with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
