Ingredients
Method
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until smooth.
- Brush the olive oil evenly over the skin side of each salmon fillet.
- Flip the fillets and brush the flesh side generously with the maple Dijon glaze, reserving about 2 tablespoons of glaze for later.
- Season the glazed salmon lightly with salt and black pepper.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes.
- Place the salmon fillets skin side down in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each piece.
- Air fry at 400°F for 7 minutes.
- Slide out the basket and brush the reserved glaze over the tops of the salmon fillets.
- Return the basket and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, until the salmon is opaque, flakes easily with a fork, and the glaze looks lightly caramelized.
- Transfer the salmon carefully to plates, squeeze lemon wedges over the top, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For easier cleanup, you can line the air fryer basket with parchment paper designed for air fryers.
- Leftover salmon can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the air fryer at 320°F for 3 to 5 minutes.
