For the Honey Garlic Sauce:
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard

Instructions
- To a small bowl add, garlic, mustard, honey, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. Stir together until combined and set aside.
- Heat air fryer to 400°F. Preheat for 2-3 minutes.
- Pat salmon dry with a paper towel.
- Evenly brush avocado oil on flesh side of salmon, season with salt and pepper.
- Using tongs, gently place 2 salmon filets skin side down in air fryer basket and air fry for 7-8 minutes (depending on the thickness of your salmon)
- Open the air fryer, brush salmon with honey garlic sauce and place a slice of lemon on top of each salmon. Close air fryer and air fry an additional 2 minutes depending on the thickness of your salmon. Check for the desired doneness with a fork, it should flake easily.

Notes
- ** If you are making this for a family: Place cooked salmon filets in the oven to keep warm while making the other two filets.
- To store. Let your salmon cool, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- To reheat. When you’re ready to eat it I recommend reheating leftovers in a non-stick skillet on the stovetop until the salmon has warmed through.
- To freeze. You can freeze air fryer salmon for 2-3 months in an airtight container once cooled. For the best results, thaw the salmon overnight in the fridge before reheating it!
