Ingredients
  

  • 4 filets salmon (6-ounce each)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. Set the air fryer to 400℉ (200℃). Pat your salmon filets dry with a paper towel.
  2. On each salmon filet, spread one teaspoon of mustard evenly in a thin layer.
  3. Sprinkle each of the spices onto the salmon filet. Start with salt and pepper, then coat generously with garlic powder and paprika. Finish with a quick spray of olive oil on top to keep the salmon filet moist.
  4. Add two salmon filets to the air fryer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until flaky with a fork. Repeat with the remaining two salmon filets.
