Description
A deliciously sweet and savory air fryer salmon recipe featuring a honey and brown sugar glaze that caramelizes perfectly for a tender, flavorful dish ready in under 20 minutes.
Ingredients
2 salmon fillets, skin on, about 6 ounces each
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine honey, brown sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and brush both sides lightly with olive oil.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching.
Brush the honey and brown sugar mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
Air fry the salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the glaze is caramelized.
Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
