Can I use frozen salmon?

Yes! Just make sure to thaw the salmon completely before cooking. You can do this by leaving it in the fridge overnight or using cold water to thaw it faster.

Can I bake this instead of using an air fryer?

Absolutely! If you don't have an air fryer, bake the salmon at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes. It may take a little longer, but it will still be delicious.

Can I use other types of mustard?

Definitely! You can swap out Dijon mustard for whole grain mustard, spicy mustard, or even yellow mustard, depending on your taste preference.

How do I make the top crispier?

If you like a crispy top, you can increase the air fryer temperature to 400°F (200°C) for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking. Just keep an eye on it to avoid burning!

Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer (or your oven) to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
Prepare the Honey Mustard Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Glaze the Salmon: Brush the honey mustard glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet.
Cook the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket (or on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper), making sure they are not touching. Air fry at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Optional Step for Crispier Top: For a slightly crispier top, increase the temperature to 400°F (200°C) for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking.
Garnish and Serve: Remove the salmon from the air fryer, let it rest for a minute, then garnish with fresh dill and serve with lemon wedges.
