Ingredients

2 salmon fillets (5 oz each)

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon soy sauce (regular or low-sodium)

1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves fresh minced garlic)

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix the honey, soy sauce, and garlic powder (or fresh garlic).

  • Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the sauce over them. Let the salmon marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

  • Place the marinated salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, skin side down.

  • Cook for about 8 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

  • While the salmon cooks, heat the remaining sauce in a small pan or microwave and drizzle over the salmon before serving.

Notes

  • If you prefer a different sweetener, try swapping honey with maple syrup for a different flavor profile.

  • You can also pair this dish with air-fried vegetables like broccoli, zucchini, or brussels sprouts for a complete meal.

  • For extra flavor, consider adding red pepper flakes, fresh ginger, or lemon zest to the sauce.
