This honey glazed salmon air fryer recipe delivers crispy skin and tender, flaky flesh with a sticky-sweet honey glaze, ready in about 15 minutes. Perfect for quick weeknight dinners with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170g each), skin-on, boneless
  • 3 tablespoons (60 ml) honey (raw or wildflower preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
  • Black pepper, freshly cracked, to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with black pepper; do not add salt.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil until smooth.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
  4. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket. Cook for 6 minutes without flipping.
  5. Carefully flip the fillets using tongs. Brush the honey glaze generously over the cooked side.
  6. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the glaze caramelizes slightly and the salmon is cooked through but still moist and flaky.

Notes

[‘Pat salmon dry thoroughly to ensure crispy skin.’, ‘Use skin-on fillets for best texture and flavor.’, ‘Brush glaze only after flipping to prevent burning.’, ‘Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to maintain crispiness.’, ‘Start checking doneness at 12 minutes total to avoid overcooking.’, ‘For gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.’, ‘Leftovers keep up to 4 days refrigerated; reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of water or lemon juice.’]
