Hey there, foodies! Get ready to elevate your dinner game with this absolutely life-changing Air Fryer Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon that’ll make your taste buds dance! Trust me, as someone who’s always looking for ways to impress without spending hours in the kitchen, this recipe is a total game-changer.
Let me tell you, this dish has become my go-to when I want to feel fancy but don’t want to deal with the hassle of traditional cooking methods. The air fryer does all the heavy lifting, and you get to take all the credit – how perfect is that?
Ingredients (serves 4):
– 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
– 4 tablespoons honey
– 6 cloves garlic, minced (yes, that much – don’t be shy!)
– 3 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 tablespoon butter, melted
– 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: Fresh lemon wedges and chopped parsley
Girl, let me walk you through this magic:
1. First things first, pat those salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Nobody likes soggy salmon, am I right?
1. In a bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, melted butter, and red pepper flakes. This glaze is seriously addictive – I may or may not have licked the spoon… don’t judge! 😉
1. Season your salmon with salt and pepper, then brush that heavenly glaze all over those fillets.
1. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F for 3 minutes. Meanwhile, line the basket with parchment paper if you’re fancy like that (or just hate cleaning like me).

1. Place the salmon in the air fryer basket, skin-side down if you’re using skin-on fillets.
1. Cook for 7-9 minutes, depending on thickness. No need to flip! The air fryer works its magic all on its own.
1. In the last 2 minutes, brush on more glaze because, honey, there’s no such thing as too much of this good stuff!
The result? Perfectly flaky, tender salmon with a sticky-sweet glaze that’ll make you feel like you’re dining at a high-end restaurant. The outside gets slightly crispy while the inside stays incredibly moist – it’s literally perfection on a plate!
Pro tip: Serve this beauty with some steamed broccoli and rice to soak up all that amazing sauce. Or if you’re feeling extra fancy, throw some asparagus in the air fryer for the last 4 minutes of cooking!
