This is a great recipe for anyone wanting to know how do you cook salmon in an air fryer.

First, let me first say that it is possible to air fry salmon.
I know that there may be some concerns about moisture and of course, keeping the salmon intact.

This recipe for honey mustard salmon does do a good job at holding on to the moisture.

Obviously, the honey and the mustard add to the moisture in the salmon.
However, we will also seal the deal by using a bit of olive oil.

 

Here is how to prepare the salon for this recipe.

You can use any kind of salmon filet for this recipe.
I recommend using salmon fillets that are six to eight ounces so that you can air fry more than one at a time and evenly.

Your salmon should be defrosted if is has been frozen.

Also, I recommend using salmon that had had the skin removed. However,if you would prefer to air fry your salmon with the skin, please clean the skin if possible.

 

Here are some tips for air frying.

I just mentioned that the salmon should be about six to eight ounces in size. Also mentioned was that the salmon should not be frozen so please defrost it before using it in this recipe.

Here are some more helpful tips for you.

1. Using a pan that is made for air fryers to cook this salmon is a way to keep the moisture. It can also make it easier to clean up after air frying.
2. I know that I mentioned cleaning or rinsing the skin that is on the salmon before using it in the reicpe is a good idea. Some folks simply like to rinse off their salmon even if it is skinless. I you decide to rinse your salmon, use a paper towel to pat it dry.
3. I like to preheat my air fryer before I cook in it. This helps insure that the air fryer is evenly heated for cooking.

 

The air fryer that you use can affect how quickly and well your salmon will cook.

Most folks are using the traditional 'egg shaped' air fryer.
Since switching over to the multi-function kind of fryer, I have found that I am able to cook more food in the same time.

Also, giving the air fryer basket a quick spray can help keep salmon from sticking.
