Tips & Tricks (5)

Pat Salmon Dry for Crispy Skin 💧
Use paper towels to thoroughly dry the salmon fillets before air frying—this removes surface moisture that prevents proper caramelization and helps the glaze adhere evenly.
Brush Glaze in Two Stages 🎨
Apply half the maple-mustard glaze at the start, then brush the remaining glaze in the final 3-4 minutes to prevent burning while achieving a glossy, caramelized finish.
Room Temperature Before Cooking 🌡️
Let salmon fillets sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before air frying to ensure even, gentle cooking throughout without a cold center.
Balance Your Mustard Ratio 🥄
Use whole-grain mustard for texture and subtle sweetness while Dijon provides sharpness—this 1:1 blend prevents the glaze from becoming too acidic or one-dimensional.
Check Doneness Without Overcooking 🍳
Salmon is perfectly cooked when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches 120-125°F internally; air fryers cook fast, so check at 12 minutes to avoid dry, overcooked fish.
