- Preheat air fryer to 400ºF.
- Place salmon fillets in basket, skin side down, sides not touching. Brush fillets with honey mustard mixture

Notes
- Salmon notes: Both skin-on and skinless fillets work well. You can make as much or as little salmon as you need; the recipe is easily adjusted. Just make sure the salmon fits in a single layer in your air fryer, or do it in batches.
- Storage: Wrap leftover salmon well and refrigerate for up to three days. Leftover salmon can be eaten cold or you can reheat it in your air fryer or microwave oven.
- Variations: Feel free to vary the seasoning as you like. Pretty much any type of seasoning works well, including BBQ rubs.
- Serving ideas: Serve the salmon with sides of your choice; add it to a salad or meal bowl; make fish tacos; or serve it on a bun with lettuce, tomato, and tartar sauce.
