A delicious and easy air fryer salmon recipe featuring a sweet and savory honey and brown sugar glaze. Perfectly cooked salmon with a caramelized crust in just minutes.
4 salmon fillets, skin on, about 6 ounces each
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Lemon wedges, for serving
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, brown sugar, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
Brush the honey and brown sugar glaze generously over the top and sides of each salmon fillet.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap.
Cook the salmon in the preheated air fryer 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 serve immediately with lemon wedges.
