Tender, flaky, frozen salmon in the air fryer. These salmon fillets are brushed with an easy and flavorful honey and garlic marinade. Perfect for a minimal effort meal that is ready in 12 minutes.
Once preheated, place frozen salmon fillets, skin side down, in the air fryer basket. Set timer for 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together the coconut aminos, honey, garlic powder, and paprika. Half way through cooking time brush salmon fillets with marinade.
Check salmon after 12 minutes. Salmon is cooked when it can easily be flaked with a fork or the internal temperature is between 140-145 degrees F. Note that the internal temperature will continue to rise by about 5 degrees after it's removed from the heat.
Enjoy!
Notes
Substitutions: Soy sauce can be used in place of coconut aminos and either brown sugar or coconut sugar can be used in place of the honey.
Set aside half of the marinade if you'd like to brush additional marinade on salmon before eating (place in separate dish to avoid contaminating with raw salmon.)
Cooking time is approximate. Total cooking time will vary depending on how thick your salmon pieces are.
