Ingredients
2 salmon fillets (6 ounces each, skin-on)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
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 3 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, olive oil, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
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, making sure they do not overlap.
Air fry the salmon 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 and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
