Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and run it for several minutes while you prepare the salmon.
- If using fresh salmon, pat the fillets dry with paper towels. If using frozen salmon, remove any loose ice but do not thaw.
- In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon dried dill (or 1 teaspoon fresh dill). Stir to combine and set aside.
- For frozen salmon: place frozen fillets skin-side down in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Air fry at 400°F for 6 minutes. Open the air fryer, brush the glaze evenly over the tops of the fillets, then close and air fry an additional 6 to 8 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.
- For fresh salmon: place fresh fillets skin-side down in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Brush the glaze evenly over the tops of the fillets. Air fry at 400°F for 5 to 8 minutes, depending on thickness, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.
- Remove the salmon carefully from the air fryer and serve.
