Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Small Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 4 6-ounce salmon fillets bones removed
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper
  • Lemon and Parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prep the salmon - double check to ensure all bones have been removed from the fillets. Pat each salmon fillet with a paper towel to dry.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, brown sugar, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Spoon mixture over each of the salmon fillets.
  • Place salmon fillets carefully in the hot pre-heated air fryer. Set cook time to 10 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. When finished salmon should be pink with a light golden brown crust on the top and sides. The internal temperature should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Remove salmon and top with fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of fresh herbs (like parsley or dill) if desired.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
