💡 Pro Tips

- ✓Cook salmon to an internal temperature of 125-130°F for medium doneness, as it will continue cooking from residual heat and reach 135°F during the glazing step.timing125-130°F
- ✓Use a 3:1:1 ratio of honey to soy sauce to lemon juice in your glaze, as this creates the optimal balance of sweetness to umami while the acid prevents the honey from burning at high heat.ingredient3:1:1 ratio
- ✓Apply the honey glaze only in the final 2-3 minutes of cooking because honey burns at 320°F and your air fryer runs at 400°F, which would create bitter compounds.timing2-3 minutes, 320°F burn point
- ✓Choose salmon fillets of uniform 1-1.5 inch thickness to ensure even cooking, as thinner sections will overcook by the time thicker areas reach proper doneness in the air fryer's intense convection.ingredient1-1.5 inch thickness
