Method
 

How to Make Air Fryer Honey Garlic Salmon
  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, honey, soy sauce, chopped garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly blended, creating a sweet and savory marinade.
  2. Brush the salmon fillets generously with the marinade. If you have some extra time, let them marinate for about 30 minutes.
  3. Set your air fryer to 370°F (190°C) for a few minutes to preheat.
  4. Spray the air fryer basket lightly with oil. Place the fillets inside without overlapping, then cook for 5 minutes. Brush on more marinade and cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily.
  5. Carefully remove the salmon from the air fryer and serve immediately. It pairs wonderfully with lemon slices and fresh herbs.
