- 2 Salmon Fillets
- 1 Garlic clove
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1/4 tsp Lemon zest
- 1 tsp Tarragon
Instructions
- 1
As frozen salmon fillets were used for this recipe, the first step is to thaw them.

Then, place the honey in a microwave safe dish and heat in the microwave for 10 seconds until slightly warm and runny.

Using a microplane grater, gently grate the lemon, making sure to only grate the zest (the yellow part) and not the pith (the dense white part). Gather a ¼ tsp of the grated lemon zest and add it into the warmed honey and mix very well until well incorporated.

Peel the garlic and using the same grater, grate the garlic as well and mix it in with the honey and lemon.

Add the tarragon into the honey + lemon combo and mix well too.

Using paper towels, dry the salmon fillets well. When salmon fillets are dry, spoon on the honey + lemon + tarragon mixture onto each, making sure to coat the sides as well. By the way, this is when things can get messy!

Then, place the salmon fillets in an air fryer, set temperature to 400 degrees and set time to 10 minutes. If the salmon fillets are thick, then set timer to 12 minutes. When time is up, remove salmon fillets and make sure they are cooked through. If the fillets are thick, they will need longer to cook.
