- 4 garlic cloves minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
- Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, and garlic.
- Pat salmon dry and season with salt and pepper.
- Line the air fryer basket with foil and preheat to 400°F for 3 minutes.

- If using minced garlic, place it around—not on top of—the salmon.
- Cook for 4–8 minutes, depending on filet thickness and air fryer model.

Notes
- Thinner filets cook faster—check at 4 minutes and add more time if needed.
- You can reduce the glaze in a small saucepan for a thicker sauce.
- Skin-on filets hold together better but can be removed after cooking if preferred.
