Air Fryer Honey Mustard Salmon
Air Fryer Honey Mustard Salmon - quick and flavorful healthy seafood dinner.
Not sure what is wrong with me, but I am JUST now getting on the air fryer train! Maybe it’s because fried foods never did it for me, (hello sweet tooth) but now I am a changed woman.
Veggies, desserts, meats, I put EVERYTHING in my air fryer now!
And since air frying salmon has been the recent craze, I knew that was the first recipe I needed to post because it is quite literally the best cooking method for salmon.
No need to worry about drying out your salmon or undercooking it, air frying is the foolproof method. Every time. And the best part - it only takes 8 minutes!
So here is a great air fryer salmon recipe that requires 5 ingredients to make a sweet and tangy sauce and that tastes absolutely amazing!
Pair it with some air fryer veggies like zucchini and asparagus, garden salad, starchy carbs like mashed or roasted potatoes, quinoa, or anything your heart desires for a well-balanced and delicious dinner.
