Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon 2–3 fillets, skin on
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice

- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

- For frozen salmon: place the frozen fillets in the air fryer basket without overlapping and air fry for 6 minutes.
- After 6 minutes, open the air fryer and brush the honey-lemon glaze over the top of each fillet, then close and air fry an additional 6 to 8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 125–145°F depending on desired doneness.
- For fresh salmon: place fillets in the air fryer, brush with glaze, and cook for 5 to 8 minutes depending on thickness, until cooked through.
- Use tongs or a spatula to transfer the salmon to plates and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can place foil in the basket to catch drips and protect the air fryer bottom.
- Previously frozen salmon should not be refrozen after cooking.
- Reheat in the air fryer for up to 5 minutes at 350°F if needed.
