Air Fryer Honey Lemon Salmon: A Quick and Healthy Weeknight Dinner Recipe

  • Author: Lyndy

  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Description

Air Fryer Honey Lemon Salmon is the perfect quick and healthy dinner. Salmon fillets are coated in a sweet and tangy honey lemon glaze and cooked to crispy perfection in the air fryer. This simple, easy-to-make recipe is ideal for busy weeknights, offering delicious flavor with minimal prep time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Lemon slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, soy sauce (if using), garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Brush both sides of the salmon fillets with olive oil. Place them in the air fryer basket, skin-side down.
  3. Generously coat the top of the salmon fillets with the honey lemon glaze, ensuring they are fully covered.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Air fry the salmon for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  5. Once cooked, remove the salmon from the air fryer and garnish with lemon slices, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Check the Salmon Early: Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of your salmon fillets. Check the salmon around 8 minutes to avoid overcooking.
  • Double the Glaze: If you like your salmon extra saucy, you can double the glaze recipe and drizzle some extra sauce on top after cooking.
  • Don’t Overcrowd the Air Fryer: Ensure there’s enough space between the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket so they cook evenly.
