Ingredients
2 salmon fillets, skin-on, about 6 ounces each
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
Brush the Dijon mustard mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch.
Cook the salmon in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
