Air Fryer Salmon is a heartbreaker. Utterly tender and flaky inside, with a blush of crispness on top, it is so darn delicious it will make it basically impossible for you to ever order salmon in a restaurant again.
Why You’ll Love Air Fryer Salmon
- Restaurant Worthy. With the air fryer, you can cook a seriously tasty piece of fish that is hands-down better than 97% of the salmon I’ve ordered out. Call your mom, text a pic to that foodie friend, and post to social media. It’s worth bragging about!
- Fast. Air fryer salmon is ready in 10 minutes. It’s the perfect fast, nutritious dinner for a busy weeknight. It’s foolproof!
- Use Any Seasoning or Marinade. Add it to your fish, then follow the time and temperature in this recipe to air fryer your salmon. The marinade I used for this recipe is very loosely based on the absolute favorite, back-pocket 5-Ingredient Maple Dijon Salmon from my cookbook. It’s a lovely blend of sweet and savory.
- Make the Most of Your Air Fryer. A firm believer that you don’t need to arm yourself with an array of fancy gadgets to cook a fantastic meal, I generally loathe purchasing new kitchen appliances. Salmon in the air fryer is so good, it alone makes your purchase worthwhile! (FYI, this is the model I eventually bought).
If you don’t have an air fryer but want to cook salmon, try my top-rated Instant Pot Salmon, Baked Salmon, or Broiled Salmon, along with these healthy salmon recipes.
If you DO have an air fryer, then I share your obsession. Be sure to check out my full collection of air fryer recipes. (Air Fryer French Fries, Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts, and Air Fryer Chicken Breasts are on our menu almost weekly.)
How to Cook Salmon in the Air Fryer
The Ingredients
- Salmon. I prefer to cook this salmon with skin on, as the fillet holds together more easily, and I find skin-on salmon yields more moist and flaky results than salmon with the skin removed. For the best taste, seek out fresh salmon that is sustainably sourced. A delicious protein, salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids (which are heart healthy), B vitamins, potassium, and is naturally gluten-free and low carb.
- Brown Sugar or Honey. Brown sugar or honey gives the salmon the perfect amount of sweetness and helps it caramelize.
- Dijon Mustard. Tangy, zippy, and pairs wonderfully with the brown sugar/honey and soy sauce.
- Soy Sauce. A salty umami bomb that coats the salmon in scrumptious flavor.
- Ginger. While optional, adding a pinch to make salmon with ginger gives the sauce a subtle, lively touch and, as this Soy Ginger Salmon shows, it’s a stellar combo with the soy sauce.
- Garlic. A seafood flavor BFF (Garlic Salmon with Lemon Butter agrees).
The Directions
- Dry the salmon, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Stir the glaze together. Spread the mixture over the salmon.
- Add the salmon filets skin-side down to an air fryer basket lined with aluminum foil for easy clean up (you can coat with cooking spray for extra insurance if you like).
- Air fry the salmon at 400 degrees F for 6 to 11 minutes cooking time. ENJOY!
TIP!
The best way to know when salmon is done is to use an instant read thermometer like this one.
- Per the FDA, salmon should be cooked to internal temperature of 145 degrees F in the thickest part of the salmon.
- To make sure your air fry salmon isn’t dry, remove it around 135 degrees F, then cover it and let it rest. The carryover cooking will bring it to temperature, and your salmon will be moist and flaky.
What to Serve with Air Fryer Salmon
- Asparagus. Asparagus and salmon are a classic pairing. While the salmon is in the air fryer, prepare this fast Grilled Asparagus or Roasted Asparagus, or make Air Fryer Asparagus.
- Other Vegetables. You can pair any veggie with salmon. For a comfort-food dinner, try Oven Roasted Potatoes or Roasted Fingerling Potatoes. For something green, Roasted Broccoli and Sauteed Brussels Sprouts are excellent.
- Salad. Salad is an ideal side dish with salmon. Ramen Salad or Asian Noodle Salad would pair perfectly.
- Whole Grains. Add some fiber and healthy carbohydrates to the meal by adding a serving of Lemon Rice or Instant Pot Brown Rice.
Seasoning Suggestions
- Garlic Lemon. Replace the Dijon mustard and soy sauce in this recipe with 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, increase the garlic powder to 1 1/2 teaspoons, and add 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Arrange lemon slices on top of the salmon while cooking.
- Honey Garlic. Use 2 tablespoons honey, 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and omit the soy sauce and ginger. Season the cooked salmon with an extra pinch of salt.
- Teriyaki. Brush the salmon with your favorite teriyaki sauce prior to cooking (see this Teriyaki Salmon for inspiration).
- Dry Rub. Remove all liquids and add your favorite seasonings for the dry rub, such as smoked paprika, oregano, basil, and garlic powder. Or try this special Salmon Seasoning combination of mine!
- Salmon Marinade. This salmon marinade uses soy sauce for salt and umami, honey or pure maple syrup for sweetness (salmon loves sweet!), and Dijon mustard for balance and zip.
- Spicy Salmon. Season the salmon with your favorite Cajun seasoning, or try the seasoning from this Spicy Salmon recipe or this Buffalo Salmon.
Storage Tips
- To Store. Refrigerate salmon in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the fridge.
- To Reheat. Gently reheat leftovers in a skillet on the stovetop over medium-low heat until just warmed through.
Leftover Ideas
Flaked leftover cooked salmon can be used in many ways!
- Add it to scrambled eggs or Crustless Quiche (especially good with goat cheese and dill).
- Add it to Homemade Fried Rice.
- Serve it over a salad, such as this meal-prep-friendly Kale and Brussels Sprouts Salad.
- Make Salmon Salad to serve in a sandwich, in lettuce wraps, or over greens or a bed of quinoa.
- Turn it into air fryed salmon patties by swapping it for the canned salmon in this Salmon Patty Recipe or the Salmon Quinoa Cakes in my cookbook.
Recipe Tips and Tricks
- Keep the Skin On. To help the fish hold together, I recommend to air fry salmon with the skin on—take the skin off salmon after cooking. I typically serve the salmon with the skin on, then let guests peel away their skin (the cooked salmon will flake off easily with a fork).
- Don’t Wrap the Fish. It is not necessary to wrap salmon in foil in the air fryer—in fact, it will make it harder for it to crisp.
- Line the Basket if You Like. Lining your air fryer basket with aluminum foil or parchment paper then coating it with nonstick spray is a good insurance policy to keep the fish from sticking. It also makes for easy clean up.
- Don’t Flip the Salmon. Thanks to the power of the heating element and constant heat circulation, unlike stovetop recipes like Pan-Seared Salmon, it is not necessary to flip salmon in the air fryer.
- Try it with Frozen. You can cook frozen salmon in the air fryer! To make this recipe with frozen salmon, preheat your air fryer to 360 degrees F. Lay the salmon on aluminum foil in the air fryer and cook for about 7 minutes or until thawed. Drizzle the soy/mustard mixture over the top of the filets as directed, then cook for another 6 to 11 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets.
Salmon might just be the best dinner to make in the air fryer.
It’s quick, healthy, and completely foolproof. It will make meal time a breeze!
Air Fryer Salmon
This quick air fryer salmon recipe makes perfectly crisp, moist fillets. Pair with vegetables or potatoes for an easy, healthy meal!
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 8 minutes
Total: 18 minutes
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets about 6 ounces each
- Pinch kosher salt
- Pinch black pepper
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch ground ginger optional
Instructions
- With paper towels, pat the salmon dry. Sprinkle lightly on both sides with salt and pepper.
- For easy cleanup, line the air fryer basket with aluminum foil. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F according to the manufacturer’s instructions (for my air fryer, that is 3 minutes).
- In a small bowl or larger liquid measuring cup, mix together the brown sugar, Dijon, oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, and ginger (if using). Spoon all over the top of the salmon.
- Slide out the air fryer basket and set it on a heatproof surface. Place the fillets in the basket so that they are not touching.
- Cook the salmon in the air fryer for 6 to 11 minutes, depending upon their thickness and your model (fillets around 1 inch will need 8 to 9 minutes). Do not overcook or the salmon will be dry. Salmon is done when it registers 145 degrees F on an instant read thermometer (I remove mine a few degrees early, let it rest, then the carryover cooking finishes the job). Check it a few times towards the end to make sure it doesn’t overcook.
- Transfer to a serving plate. Enjoy hot, with a sprinkle of additional salt and pepper as desired.

Notes

New to air frying–will try this salmon but is there brown paper underneath the foil?
Hi June, I hope you enjoy it! No brown paper underneath the foil, that is just the reflection of the light! Thanks!
very good and very easy. I’m cooking for one now so it was perfect.
So glad you enjoyed it Marie! Thank you for this kind review!
Hi, I don’t like dijon mustard. Would you suggest I use a different mustard or just leave it out ? Thanks
Hi Susan! I haven’t tested this recipe leaving the mustard out, so not sure how it would turn out. You could use any kind of mustard you’d like but the flavor may slightly be different. If you try it, let me know!
Made this tonight for my hubby. We both gobbled it up! It was very quick and easy, I will be making it more!!
Hi Jenny! So glad you enjoyed the salmon! Thank you for this kind review!
Hands down the best salmon recipe!! Nice crust and delicious flavor….so easy to make quickly in the air fryer with this recipe. I used aluminum foil as suggested and the clean up was a snap.This will now be on heavy rotation in my house. Thanks Erin!!!
Hi Vikki! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
I haven’t yet tried this recipe because the only salmon I seem to find lately are those really thin fillets in the grocery store freezers. I’m talking 3-4 oz tops per fillet. It’s as though the driving thought is to get as many so-called fllets from each salmon as possible, resulting in such thin cuts I’m almost afraid to try to cook them. I was hoping for an air fryer recipe would work. Any advise? This looks really delicious!
Hi Nancy! Since that is all you can find, I would suggest in testing one out and work with the cook time. You’ll have to play around some with it! Let me know how it goes!
Finally another salmon recipe worth repeating! I used minced ginger with home grown honey and wow, my husband and I were so impressed. Thank you!!
Hi Jenny! So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for this kind review!
I just wanted to know what salmon you prefer. We love salmon but seems like every time we end up with salmon with a fishy taste. Thank you for sharing! Can’t wait to try it!
Hi Dottie! I do not have a preference, I normally get what is fresh and on sale. If you are finding yours has a fishy taste there could be multiple reason to why that is. Hope this helps!
Make sure you are getting Atlantic salmon and not sockeye salmon which is more orange and has a stronger fishy flavor.
An outstanding salmon recipe! This will be on regular dinner rotation 😊
Hi Tencia! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
Great food with less effort…just how cooking should be! Absolutely loved this recipe and will definitely be making again! Also really loved the aluminum foil tip.
Hi Bailey! So glad you enjoyed the salmon! Thank you for this kind review!
I have No name frozen salmon fillets, would those work in this recipe?
Hi Linda! I’ve only tested the recipe as written and I am not familiar with that brand. If you decide to experiment, let me know how it goes!
I made this today. I had it with Arugula /baby Spinach and Avocado dressing. Absolutely delicious. Thank you for this recipe.
Hi Shaun! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
I’m new to air frying. My particular air fryer has a pre-setting for fish and the manual recommends 350* for salmon. Your recipe states 400*. Which should I go with?
Hi Christine! Since all air fryers are different, I recommend going with the recipe. Hope this helps!
This recipe was my first attempt at air frying. So glad it was a success! Nice and crisp texture on the outside with a moist inside. The flavor was incredible! This will be a go to recipe for salmon. I used the honey instead of brown sugar. I also purchased perforated parchment paper for the Ninja AF101 and that made cleanup a snap (didn’t use foil – I wanted the air flow)! And I love how quickly a meal comes together using an air fryer.
Hi Tanya! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
I I have a Breville toaster oven with air fryer capabilities. What temperature would you recommend to make this salmon? And for how long? This looks so good.
Thanks
Marcia
Hi Marcia! I have no idea because I do not have that particular brand. It should air fry the same thought. If you decide to try it out, let me know how it goes!
My favorite way have salmon! It was juicy and full of flavor!
Hi Megan! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!

Hi Tracy! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
Amazing! I order salmon whenever I can. My first attempt and it is sooo good!
Hi Kristi! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
I was hesitant to use the air fryer for my very expensive salmon. But I followed the recipe, omitting the dijon mustard as my husband dislikes it. The salmon turned out fantastic and perfectly cooked although it took about twice as long as directed. It was a good hunk of salmon! I loved the salty sweetness of the glaze.
Hi! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
Nice and moist, could have more flavor. Please, please, please do not put foil in when preheating. The foil will suck up into the fan and start a fire!!!!!
Hi Dorothy! I’m so glad you enjoyed the salmon. Thanks for sharing your concern. I actually have never heard this before. The only downside I know of with foil is that it can make it a little hard for air to circulate so your food might not get as crisp. Air fryers use hot air to cook food, they don’t generate heat like a microwave, so foil won’t catch from everything I have read. Can you share where you learned this? I’d like to know more. Here’s an article I was referencing: https://www.southernliving.com/food/kitchen-assistant/can-you-put-aluminum-foil-in-air-fryer“
Yum. I think my husband is done grilling salmon….
Hi! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!

Hi Teri! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
I will never grill or broil again!
Hi Judy! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
This is an amazing way to cook salmon! I am new to the air fryer, and this was delicious. I used honey and added the ginger. Since I like my salmon medium rare, I only cooked it for 5 minutes and let it rest for about 4. It was cooked through, but like butter! Thank you! Will try more of your recipes!
Hi Mabel! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review.
I love this salmon! I’ve made it multiple times to rave reviews! It’s so easy and comes out juicy and sweet & tangy.

Hi Debbie! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
Do you use bake or air fry dial for the salmon? I m new to using the air fryer
Hi Janet, this salmon is an air fryer salmon, so you would be air frying it.
Awesome, very tasty, and very very easy to make.
I’m so happy that you enjoyed it, LaJuana! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
I was hesitant to try the air fryer vs baking a beautiful sockeye filet, in the fear it would somehow ruin it. However, I followed Erin’s recipe to the “t” and it came out better than baking it(or at least as close, lol). Fantastic recipe! Thanks, Erin!
I’m so happy that you enjoyed it, Joe! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
It looks very easy to make I’ll try to cook it in my Air Fryer. Thank you Erin
I hope you enjoy the recipe, Cesar!
Phenomenal recipe!! I used your ingredients.. just lots more of it and also added a splash of sugar free teriyaki.., easily the best salmon I’ve ever made!!!!! I make a secret sauce to go with it and my kids loved it!!! Thank you!!

This is a delicious recipe! I used sockeye salmon. I will definitely use this recipe again, thank you for sharing!
Sherri
Hi Sherri! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
Can’t *wait* to try this tonight! Just wondering — do you have to adjust the cook timing at all if you’re only doing one fillet? Was reading Mabel’s comment and thinking I should only do 5min or so, since it’s only 1 fillet, and I also like my salmon *just* cooked.
Hi Kelly! I don’t believe you would need to adjust the time. I would definitely watch the internal temperature since you prefer a just cooked filet. Hope you enjoy it!
This was EXCELLENT!! I normally shy away from salmon but this sounded close to a marinade that i have for fish but don’t like the smell in the kitchen. This was sooooo easy, so quick AND in the air fryer – no smell. Absolutely 5 stars. Salmon came out more moist than I’ve ever had it in a restaurant. The sauce was delicious. Thank you
Hi Ann! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
Salmon was delicious and so easy!! I will definitely use this recipe again!

We loved this and it’s so easy!! Making it again tonight!! Love salmon in the air fryer!❤️
Hi Kim! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
This was a keeper! Most recipes for salmon call for lemon but I didn’t have any. Found this and, wow 👌 it is great. I added a little diced onion on top before cooking. Everyone liked it. My daughter said it tasted like the sauce you get at the hibachi 😋
Hi Leeann! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
Fantastic recipe..
I WILL NEVER AGAIN COOK SALMON ANY OTHER WAY THAN IN THE AIRFRYER!
It turned out beautiful and moist… This was first time for me COOKING this way as I usually do it under the grill/broiler…..I only cooked salmon for 6 minutes.. Could not believe the end result…
Will definitely make this again….
Hi Lorna! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
this was very good and quick to cook. 7 minutes in my air fryer. my salmon didn’t have any skin. i flipped it over and glazed the other side.
Hi Stacey! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
The best salmon I ever made. You must try this.
Hi Deborah! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
I have a recipe that I have had for years that was an indoor recipe I adapted to cooking out on my grill with cedar planks. With all the good reviews I’m interested in trying the air fryer recipe for something different and for times the cedar planks may not be available at certain stores. You stated a pinch of ground ginger. Would you have an opinion on possibly using fresh ginger as that is something I always have on hand and any recommendations on the amount Thanks
Hi Michelle! You could probably use fresh ginger. 1/4 tsp ground ginger is equivalent to 1 tablespoon fresh ginger which might help you in deciding how much fresh to use! Hope you enjoy the salmon!
Great bestglaze ever. Thanks for the recipe
Hi Kay! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
I just had to come back and comment after making this it was so easy and so good! Thank you for posting :)
Hi Sarah! So glad you did! THANK YOU!
This recipe was truly amazing. I just made it a few minutes ago and my 6 and 7 year olds couldn’t get enough. It’s really hard to get them to eat fish without it being fried. This right here is a winner! Thank you so much!
Hi Layte! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review! So glad the kiddos enjoyed it too!
Incredibly easy and fast! Immediately saved and sent the recipe to my mother & sister-in-law! This will be my new go-to. 😋

Hi Gina! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
Very good and easy.
Hi Nancy! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
I am trying to eat more salmon each week. This recipe was simple and absolutely delicious! It took no time at all. I purchased the single serving vacuum sealed frozen salmon portions and cut this recipe in half to serve one. Wow! I will definitely make this again!
Hi Sharon! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
While not a big fan of salmon, I found this recipe delicious! Quick and easy to make. Will definitely make again!
So happy to hear that Marie!
I’ve never cooked Salmon before and this recipe was easy and very delicious! Can’t wait to try a few variations using honey, garlic and lemon! Definitely making it again, soon!
Hi Michelle! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
I made this recipe last night. The glaze is super yummy (!), but I used coconut aminos instead of soy, since that’s what I had, and I think soy would have resulted in a bit deeper umami flavor. My salmon filets were evidently enormous because it took 12 minutes in the AF to cook. I wish I would have cut them in half. And I have decided that next time, I will cut them into bites and double the glaze recipe (using soy sauce). I made some sauteed spinach with shallots and crushed red peppers on the side, which complemented it well. I’m not eating grains right now, but rice would have been great. I will definitely use this recipe again and am so glad I found it!
Hi Marcia! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
My husband loves this recipe for salmon! Have it this way at least once a week
Hi Katherine! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
Absolutely beautiful
Thanks Brenda!
I love salmon and have eaten it many times over the years. This was the BEST salmon I have ever eaten, anywhere. I followed the recipe to the letter and cooked it in the air fryer. Crisp on the outside, most and tender on the inside. This will be my go-to salmon recipe going forward. Outstanding!
Hi Don! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
Made this salmon this eve. It was delicious! Served with brown rice, veggie medley and salad. The glaze really enhanced the salmon. Will definitely make again

Looking forward to trying it again with Teriyaki sauce.
Much appreciated!!

Hi Darren! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
I cook salmon all the time but have never tried it in my airfryer. Had to use tamari due to allergies but this was one of the most delicious salmon recipes I have ever made or tasted. Served it with Japanese fried rice and asparagus, everyone loved it and finished the extra salmon I had cooked for the next day!!!
Will absolutely keep this recipe and use in the future, so quick and easy. I’m off to check out your other recipes!!
Hi Denise! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!

This recipe is so delicious! I will never make salmon any other way again.
Hi Teresa! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
My mom introduced me to this recipe and we each must have made this recipe about 50 times now. WE LOVE IT!!!!!!!! I mainly use it on salmon, but have used it on other fish too. My husband, who is not a fish lover, will ask for this recipe. I have used more grainy Dijon mustard, but I find the smooth mustard makes the glaze better at the end. The airfryer I use is a Ninja. It works wonderfully. Thank you!
Hi Andrea! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
How about writing about a recipe? After reading a text the size of the bible there was some kind of recipe toward the end. I never bothered to try it.
Hi J. The recipe is in the recipe card, right above the area where you commented. You had to scroll right past it to comment. You can also click the “jump to recipe” button at the top of the screen to get you to it faster. If this tips and tricks are not your thing, you can even hit the print button in the recipe card. Hope this helps!
Fabulous! Most delicious salmon I ever made. Who knew an air fryer could turn out such a magnificent meal?
Hi Diane! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
Really like using my air fryer. This is a nice straight forward salmon recipe, easy and flavorful. I went with Maple syrup instead of honey and might cut it back just a tad next time, or maybe go with brown sugar. Really can’t go wrong. Skipped the oil in the recipe, using Jail house Salmon which has a good bit of fat I think to begin with, not one of the leaner salmons, but really nice to cook and not dry out. I didn’t line my air fryer with anything and it wasn’t too bad to clean up after. Will do again. Had steamed fresh green beans and a pearl couscous with zucchini and cherry tomatoes to go with this.
Hi Frances! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
So good! I used quinoa as a base. I didn’t have any cornstarch so I used all purpose flour and it worked just fine. Will definitely be making again!
Hi Annie! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
This was fabulous. It’s my new ‘go to’ salmon recipe. It’s so much easier and faster in my air fryer! It’s healthy, diabetic friendly and clean up was a cinch!
Thank you!
Hi Heidi! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
I just tried this recipe but used a sugar-free brown sugar. I did overcook the first batches by a bit but the last batch was really tasty! the air fryer method is perfect when finding the right time. for me, it was 6 min!
Hi Angelica! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
This was delicious and so so easy! I followed the recipe exactly and first batch was awesome. Tweaked sauce a bit just to our sweetness preference and made a second batch. Also awesome.
Perfect weekenight meal that takes no time but tastes like it did. Definitely keeping in my dinner rotation. Thank you for a great recipe.
Hi Sheila! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
This is delicious. I have had air fried salmon before, but the glaze in this recipe really puts it over the top.
Hi Emily! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
Simply amazing! My kids, who are usually a bit picky when it comes to fish, absolutely love it.
I never cooked salmon in an air fryer before, I usually cook chicken, pork and beef in the air fryer. Your recipe are on point and super easy to follow. The salmon that I made was moist and flaky it was perfect! I served the salmon with a simple side of roasted vegetables and a salad. It was a great combination. Thank you!
Hi Athena! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
So glad I found your website and your recipes. I love this salmon recipe. I copy your recipe but use onion powder instead of garlic.
Hi Alyssa! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
The convenience of cooking salmon in the air fryer is unmatched, I love the addition of honey in the recipe. So delicious!!
Fabulous news, thanks Mandy!
WOW this was so good and so fast. We loved it!
I’m so grateful for this salmon recipe! It made cooking salmon so much easier, it doesn’t take much time. I’ve already made this recipe several times and it became my kids favorite.
So great to hear, thanks. Monique!
DELISH! We cooked this up with some asparagus and basmati rice on the side. Perfect combination.
This was really easy and delicious. I made it along with quinoa and stir-fried kale. Perfect combination!
Hi Adison! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
This is now my favorite go-to to make salmon. Started at 7 minutes, then added 2 more and it was perfect. You have so many good recipes!
Hi Jillian! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
This was delicious! I followed the recipe and added a couple spices I had in my pantry. It came out really good!
So happy to hear! Thank you Sally!
This was delicious! I use our air fryer for pork and chicken all the time, but this was my first try with fish. It turned out perfectly and couldn’t have been easier or faster!
Hi Annie! So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Never even considered air frying salmon! I chose to leave off the mustard and just did salt and pepper with olive oil and served with lemon wedges and it was perfect! Thank you for another simple and healthy recipe!
So happy to hear! Thank you Myla!
I’m not a big fan of salmon, however I thought I would give this recipe a try. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! This is the only recipe I will ever use for salmon. The crunch on the outside & tender flakey on the inside was right on point.
So happy to hear! Thank you Sheena!
It was soooo good! I’m not a big cook and this came out much better than I thought – and I didn’t add much salt in it because I need to cut down my salt intake and it was still so good!
I’m a huge seafood lover and have had a lot of salmon in my life, but this recipe with the seasonings is top tier. I could eat this EVERYDAY. I always love your recipes but this is definitely in my top 10!!
Yay! Thank you Jessy!
I rarely leave reviews but WOW! This is so delicious and simple. I made it once last week and am making it again now. This will easily become a regular for me.
Awesome, thank you Evelyn!
So evenly cooked in the air fryer! Love it!
Glad you enjoyed it Susan!
Amazing marinade! Simple ingredients and so much flavor!🤌🏼
Fabulous, perfect ratio of honey and mustard. Used honey as I didn’t have brown sugar
YAY glad to hear it!
Just made this tonight, and yes, it broke my heart because restaurant salmon won’t be the same.
So glad you enjoyed it Alyssa!
Outstanding flavor!
Thank you Richard!
