Full Recipe: 

Ingredients

• 2 salmon fillets (approximately 6–8 oz each)

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 tablespoon honey

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce

• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

• 1/3 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, soy sauce, chopped garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.

2. Marinate the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush the marinade over both sides of the fillets. For optimal flavor, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (188°C). Lightly spray the basket with olive oil to prevent sticking.

4. Cook the Salmon: Place the marinated salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, skin side down if the skin is on. Air fry for 5 minutes. Then, brush the fillets with the remaining marinade and cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

5. Serve: Remove the salmon from the air fryer and serve immediately. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh herbs if desired.
