Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
- Rinse the salmon filets and pat dry with a paper towel and set aside.
- In a small bowl add honey, soy sauce, garlic, crushed red pepper and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
- For easy clean up, line the air fryer tray with parchment paper or an air fryer liner. Lay the filets skin side down on the parchment paper.
- Use about half of the honey sauce and brush over each filet, reserve the remaining sauce for later.
- Cook the salmon on 400°F for 8 minutes. Halfway through cooking, at the 4 minutes mark, add the other half of the honey sauce to each filet. Continue cooking for 4 more minutes, until filets reach an internal temperature of 145°F on an instant-read meat thermometer.
- Serve immediately.

Notes
Storage: Store leftover air fryer honey garlic salmon in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, place the salmon skin side down in the air fryer, and cook at 350°F for about 3 minutes, until warmed through.
Freeze: Place cooled fish in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. For best results, transfer frozen fish to the fridge to thaw for 24 hours before reheating.
Adjust The Heat: This recipe has a lot of spice from sriracha, chili flakes, and black pepper. The honey balances out the heat, so don’t worry, it’s not as spicy as it sounds. But if you don’t like spicy food, feel free to reduce the amount of chili flakes and sriracha. And if you’re all about the heat, then you can add more chili flakes or Sriracha, to taste!
Garnish. Most entrees are best with a garnish, and this recipe is no exception. We recommend topping the juicy and spicy salmon with sesame seeds, green onions, cilantro, or chives!
Have Your Sides Ready: Salmon is best eaten as soon as it’s done cooking as it tends to get cold quickly. Make sure that the rest of your meal is fully prepared, or with only a few minutes left to cook, before you start air frying this honey garlic salmon. That way you can enjoy your fish as soon as it is ready.
