Ingredients
2 salmon fillets, skin on, about 6 ounces each
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on a plate skin side down.
Brush the honey brown sugar glaze evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
Place the salmon fillets skin side down in the air fryer basket, ensuring 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 the glaze is caramelized.
Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
