Print Recipe

This Air Fryer Honey Garlic Salmon is sweet, savory, sticky, and perfectly caramelized—all with just 4 simple ingredients. It’s a healthy, fast dinner that’s ready in under 10 minutes, making it perfect for busy weeknights. The honey creates a glossy glaze while the garlic and soy sauce add bold flavor that pairs beautifully with tender salmon.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 salmon fillets (5–8 oz each)

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 1½ tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder or 1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced

Optional Garnishes

  • Black or white sesame seeds

  • Green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, and garlic until combined.

  2. Divide the sauce in half.

  3. Marinate salmon with half of the sauce in the refrigerator for 30 minutes (optional but recommended for more flavor).

  4. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

  5. Place salmon fillets in the air fryer basket and brush with the remaining sauce.

  6. Air fry for 7–8 minutes, depending on thickness, until salmon is flaky and cooked through.

  7. Serve hot, drizzled with extra sauce and garnished with sesame seeds or green onions.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook: Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.

  • No preheat option? Run your air fryer empty at 400°F for 5 minutes before cooking.

  • Extra flavor ideas: Add red pepper flakes, grated ginger, lemon juice, or lime juice.

  • Easy sides: Serve with rice, quinoa, roasted veggies, or a fresh salad.
