Make the marinade: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, soy sauce, chopped garlic cloves, salt, and black pepper.
1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 garlic cloves, 1/3 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Brush the salmon fillets all over with the marinade. If you have time, you can cover the salmon with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2 salmon fillets
Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees Fahrenheit.
When hot, spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Place the salmon slices in the basket, leaving some space between them.
Cook the salmon fillets at 370 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes. Then brush with additional marinade and cook for another 3 minutes or until cooked through and flaky. The exact cooking time can vary depending on the size, thickness, and type of the salmon fillets, your air fryer, and personal preference.
Serve the honey garlic salmon fillets immediately while they are as juicy as possible. You can serve them with lemon slices and chopped fresh herbs.
