Once you wash and pat dry the salmon, it’s time to coat it. Spoon or pour the glaze or sauce over the salmon. Be sure to use a pan that’s suitable to fit in the air fryer. I used a 6 inch cake pan.

Salmon is very easy to cook. It is also a great source of protein and omega 3. Cooking salmon in the air fryer will not dry out as the there is a time on the air fryer to alert you when it is done.

Place the baking pan in the air fryer basket.

Then cook to perfection!

It doesn’t hurt to add a little pepper on top 🙂

  Oh NO! It’s there. All you need is 1/4 cup of Honey. Equal parts with the mustard to help balance out the flavor.
