Air Fryer Salmon is one of the easiest and most satisfying weeknight dishes I’ve made in a long time. It takes under 20 minutes to prepare and is always a hit!

How to Make Air Fryer Salmon
Ingredients
Process
- Pat each salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl combine together mustard, honey, garlic, and cayenne (if using).
- Whisk together.
- Brush honey mustard generously over each salmon fillet. Spray 6 quart air fryer basket with cooking spray and preheat to 400˚F.
- Air fry salmon for 8 to 9 minutes, until tender and flaky.
Baking Alternative for Our Air Fryer Salmon Recipe
Our recipe can easily be made in the oven if you don’t have an air fryer. Simply set your oven to 375˚F and roast for 12 to 15 minutes (depending on desired doneness), on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Storing and Reheating Instructions
Air fryer salmon can be stored in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, preheat air fryer to 375˚F and air fry salmon fillets for 2 to 3 minutes, until heated through. Alternatively, preheat oven to 350˚F. Place salmon fillets into baking dish and cover tightly with foil. Bake for 4 to 6 minutes, until heated through.
Tips and Tricks for Success
- Buy fillets that have about the same thickness for even cooking.
- Pat the fillets with paper towels to dry. This will help to prevent the salmon from steaming, which would turn the fillets mushy instead of flaky.
- Be generous with the honey mustard spread so a delicious crust can formed on top of each piece of fish.
Why We Love Air Fryer Salmon
- Using an air fryer, not only creates a nice, browning crust on the salmon, but it also helps to lock in the juices, resulting in some of the best tasting salmon.
- It’s keeps things much less messy. There’s no need to worry about spattering oil from the stovetop.
- It reheats exceptionally well and doesn’t seem to dry out as easily.
