Description

Flaky air fryer salmon brushed with a warm honey lemon butter glaze. Ready in about 15 minutes with 6 simple ingredients.

Ingredients 

  • 2 salmon fillets, about 5 ounces each
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 390°F for 3 minutes.
  • Whisk the melted butter, honey, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Set half aside in a separate bowl for serving.
  • Pat the salmon dry and brush all over with the remaining sauce.
  • Place the fillets skin side down in the basket. Air fry for 7 to 10 minutes, until the salmon reaches 145°F and flakes easily.
  • Spoon the reserved sauce over the salmon and serve with lemon wedges.

Equipment

Notes

  • Cook time depends on thickness; check thinner fillets at 6 minutes.
  • If the glaze darkens too quickly, lower the heat to 370°F.
  • Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days and reheat at 300°F for 3 to 4 minutes.
