Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your air fryer to 390°F (199°C). (approximately 2 minutes)
02
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, brown sugar, minced garlic, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and freeze-dried dill until thoroughly combined. This vibrant sauce will infuse the salmon with incredible flavor. Set aside. (approximately 3 minutes)
03
StepCarefully place the frozen salmon fillets, flesh-side down, in the preheated air fryer basket. Ensure they are not overcrowded for even cooking. Air fry for 6 minutes. (approximately 6 minutes)
04
StepFlip the salmon fillets. Brush each fillet with approximately 1/4 of the prepared Dijon-dill sauce. Continue air frying for another 6 minutes. (approximately 6 minutes)
05
StepBrush the remaining sauce generously over the salmon fillets. Continue cooking until the fish flakes easily with a fork, indicating it is perfectly cooked. This should take approximately 3-4 more minutes. (approximately 4 minutes)
