Ingredients
2 wild-caught salmon fillets (for the best flavor and nutrients!)
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (locks in moisture & crispiness!)
2 tbsp pure raw honey (adds a natural caramelized sweetness!)
1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (brings out that umami flavor!)
1 tsp minced garlic (because garlic makes everything better!)
½ tsp black pepper (for a touch of spice!)
½ tsp paprika (adds a warm smoky depth!)
½ tsp fresh lemon juice (brightens up the flavors!)
Sesame seeds & green onions for garnish
Directions
- Prepare the Marinade
🔸 In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, and black pepper. - Coat the Salmon
🔹 Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel—this helps the marinade stick better.
🔹 Brush the marinade generously over the fillets, coating them well. - Preheat the Air Fryer
🔥 Set your top-rated air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for 2-3 minutes. - Air Fry the Salmon
🔸 Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket.
🔸 Air fry for 7-8 minutes, brushing extra marinade on top halfway through.
🔸 Check for doneness—salmon should be flaky and slightly pink inside. - Serve & Enjoy
🍽 Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with sesame seeds & chopped green onions before serving.
🍽 Pair with steamed veggies, quinoa, or jasmine rice for a balanced meal!
