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

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Small Bowl

Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Remove salmon and top with fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of fresh herbs (like parsley or dill) if desired.
  5. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
