Ingredients

Scale

2 salmon fillets, skin on, about 6 ounces each
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon red chili flakes
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
Brush both sides of the salmon fillets with olive oil.
Season the salmon fillets evenly with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap.
Cook the salmon in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes.
While the salmon cooks, prepare the hot honey glaze by combining honey, red chili flakes, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Stir well to combine.
After 10 minutes, carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and brush the hot honey glaze generously over the top of each fillet.
Return the glazed salmon to the air fryer and cook for an additional 2 minutes at 400°F (200°C) to caramelize the glaze.
Remove the salmon from the air fryer and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the air fryer salmon hot, drizzled with any remaining hot honey glaze.
