Air fryer salmon with dijon mustard recipe

Step 1

Preheat your air fryer, following your brand of default setting. Mine is Cosori and the default is 400F (204C) for 5 minutes.

Step 2

Slice the salmon into two equalized pieces. Pat them dry if they are watery.

Step 3

To prepare the sauce, in a measuring cup with sprout, combine olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir well until the salt is dissolved.

Step 4

Line the air fryer basket with a thin piece of parchment paper. Lightly grease the paper with olive oil spray. Place two fillets in the basket with some space in between. Place them skin-side down.

Step 5

Set aside 2 tbsp of the sauce and pour the remainder onto the fillets. Use a silicone brush to help you distribute the sauce evenly and all over the salmon.

Step 6

Air fry for 8 minutes and check the doneness. Add another minute or two for medium-cooked salmon. The salmon is done when you can use a fork to flake easily.

Step 7

Use a fish spatula, and carefully transfer the salmon out of the basket onto a serving plate. The skin might stick to the parchment.

Step 8

Sprinkle the fillets with a touch of salt, drizzle with the remaining 2 tbsp sauce, and garnish with the parsley on top. Serve with extra lemon wedges on the side. Serve hot.
