Method
Pat the salmon1 fillet dry and check for any remaining bones.
Mix the honey, mustard, soy sauce, garlic5, lemon6 juice, oil, and pepper.
Brush the salmon1 with the glaze on all sides and place it in the air fryer basket skin-side down.
Cook at 190 °C for 10–12 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Let it rest for 2 minutes and serve with any remaining glaze from the basket, if it has not burned.
Tips
- Why it works
- Place the fillet skin side down. The skin protects the bottom from drying out, and the glaze on top sets in 10–12 minutes at 190 °C.
- Substitutions
- Swap olive oil for the same amount of regular vegetable oil. Use 10–15 g of lime or 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar instead of lemon.
- Common mistakes
- The most common mistake is overcooking. The glaze darkens outside, and the fish inside breaks into dry fibers instead of soft flakes.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep cooked salmon in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat for 3–5 minutes in the air fryer at 160 °C, or eat it cold with a side.
- Serve with
- Serve for dinner with rice, buckwheat or green beans, so the sweet and salty sauce soaks into the side.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
