Ingredients
Scale
Salmon:
- 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each, skin on or off)
Honey Mustard Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Coat the Salmon: Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and brush generously with the honey mustard glaze.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
- Cook the Salmon: Place salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, skin-side down if applicable, and air fry for 8-10 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Thicker fillets may need an extra 1-2 minutes.
- Finish and Serve: Brush with additional glaze after cooking if desired. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges and serve immediately.
