Notes
Expert Tips
- Fresh salmon: Preheat to 400 for 3 minutes. Spray the air fryer basket and place the fresh salmon skin-side down in the basket. Brush with the sauce to coat. Air fry for 6-7 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve and enjoy!
- Cooking time: You may need to adjust the time if you have thicker salmon filets. I used 6oz filets. Most importantly, cook your salmon to an internal temperature of 145. The best way to check the temp is to use an instant-read meat thermometer.
- Honey Garlic Sauce Recipe: This honey garlic sauce is super easy to whip up and would pair perfectly as a marinade for chicken wings, chicken breasts, and other fish as well!
Serving Tips
- Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice and side dishes like white rice, or if you’re keto, cauliflower rice. You can also serve this with your favorite veggies, potatoes, sweet potatoes, salads, and more!
Storage Tips
- Leftover Salmon: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 350F for 3-4 minutes or over the stovetop for best results.
- Freezer: To freeze, store your cooked salmon in an airtight container or bag and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the air fryer.
