Author: Katie Stewart

Equipment

  • Air fryer

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb skin-on salmon fillet
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea/pink salt

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 390°F.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the avocado oil, honey, dijon, lemon juice, sea salt, garlic powder and onion powder.
  • Brush onto the salmon fillet.
  • Place in the preheated air fryer and cook for 20 minutes. If you’re using smaller fillets, lower your cooking time and use a meat thermometer to test for doneness (see notes).
  • Remove from the air fryer and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Serve immediately.

Notes

Best Results: Make sure the air fryer has come to full temperature.
Air Fryer: I have a Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro with a stainless steel, mesh tray. If you have a non-stick-coated air fryer, consider lining the basket or tray with unbleached parchment paper to lessen your exposure to the non-stick chemicals. 
Internal temperature: According to the USDA, the ideal internal temperature for salmon is 145°. However, many chefs target a finished temperature of 125° for moist salmon (it will continue to cook as it rests outside of the oven/air fryer).
