HOW DO YOU MAKE HONEY DIJON MUSTARD GLAZED?
To make the glaze, combine the honey, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley and basil, oilive oil, and lime juice in a small bowl. Then, whisk in the ginger, salt, and pepper.
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 🙂
Enjoy with your preferred side dish. 🙂

I tried it and loved it! I must say mine turned out more green than yellow. Could it be because my basil and parsley was in a jar and not fresh? Either way, it was delicious! Thank you for the simple recipe!

This was easy and delicious. I put it over a salad. I saved some of the glaze added a little more lime juice and olive oil and used it to dress the salad before placing the salmon on top. Also…used fresh ginger because I just happened to have some I needed to use up. Yum!
Mirlene
Thank you, Mary. I am glad to hear that you were able to use it in many ways.

Can’t find “honey” in the recipe anywhere. Am I blind? Sounds delicious tho😜
Mirlene
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.
