Fast, convenient and very delicious. I had 2 salmon filets and a bag of Trader Joe’s Vegetable Fried Rice in the freezer. I cooked up the fried rice in a large skillet, air fried the salmon and voila! Sometimes I do it with shrimp, sometimes chicken and you can use tofu. This salmon takes less than 15 minutes to prep and cook — can’t beat that.

This is what I did last night and there wasn’t anything left. Even Joel eats all the vegetables in this fried rice– sort of amazing!

Air Fryer Honey Dijon Salmon:

Ingredients:

2 6 oz. salmon filets

2 Tablespoon dijon mustard

2 Tablespoon honey

2 teaspoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and Pepper

Directions:

Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 degrees

In a small bowl , add the honey, dijon, garlic powder, and olive oil, stir to combine

Pat the salmon filets dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.

Spoon the honey glaze over the top of the salmon and rub into all the sides of the salmon to coat. If you’d like you can reserve some glaze — I didn’t but if you’d like to you can.

Place the salmon filets in the air fryer after 5 minute pre heat, skin side down.

Cook at 400 degrees for 7-9 minutes depending on thickness of your filet and how you like it done.

Once cooked I removed the skin, cut up into small pieces and added it to fried rice in the skillet which was on oven on low, everything is cooked so just mixed around a bit and served !! Perfection and pretty healthy for a quick weeknight meal.

*to stretch Trader Joe’s Vegetable Fried Rice you can add extra frozen peas carrots corn whatever you have in freezer.

*also we love this hot and spicy Japanese BBQ sauce available in many food stores. It’s Bachan’s Japanese BBQ sauce Hot and Spicy, they also make a few others that aren’t hot and spicy.
