Set your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) and let it preheat. I suggest doing this first thing before you get out your ingredients.
STEP 1: PREHEAT THE AIR FRYER
STEP 2: MAKE THE GLAZE
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth.
STEP 3: SEASON THE SALMON
Place frozen fillets in a single layer in the basket. Brush the glaze evenly over the tops of the fillets.
STEP 4: COOK UNTIL FLAKY
Air fry for 12–18 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets, until the salmon flakes easily and reaches an internal temp of 145°F (63°C).
STEP 5: SERVE
Plate salmon hot and garnish with lemon wedges and parsley. Serve with rice, vegetables, or salad.
