Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 salmon filets 6 oz
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ tablespoon honey or agave
  • Cooking spray or aluminum foil

Instructions

  • Pat the salmon filets dry with a paper towel and place on a plate.
    2 salmon filets
  • In a separate small bowl, mix together the sea salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasonings over the salmon filets.
    ½ teaspoon sea salt, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon paprika, ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • Drizzle the honey over each salmon filet evenly and use your fingers or the back of a spoon to massage into the salmon.
    ½ tablespoon honey
  • Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or line with a sheet of aluminum foil for easy clean up. Place the salmon filets in the basket, skin side down, and cook for 6 -7 minutes at 400 F. If your filets are on the thicker side, I recommend doing 7 - 8 minutes.
    Cooking spray or aluminum foil
  • DON’T OPEN THE DOOR. Keep the door to the air fryer shut for another 2 minutes after the timer goes off. The salmon will further crispen up on the sides. Open the basket and check that the salmon is done with a fork. Cook for another minute or so if needed and enjoy!

Notes

Storing : Store leftovers in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
