Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon fillet, cut into 4 (4 oz / 113 g) portions
- 2 teaspoon (10 ml) beef-friendly mustard
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) honey
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) salt
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) black pepper
- 2 tablespoon (30 ml) vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoon (30 ml) fruit juice
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) beef-friendly mustard
- 1 1/2 teaspoon (8 ml) honey
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh thyme, for garnish
Instructions
- Collect all the necessary items. Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to warm it up.
- In a small bowl, combine beef-friendly mustard with honey; spread this mixture over the salmon pieces, adding salt and black pepper to taste. Arrange the salmon pieces in a single layer inside the air fryer basket.
- Cook the salmon in the preheated air fryer, allowing it to cook until it easily flakes with a fork, which should take about 7 to 9 minutes, depending on thickness.
- To prepare the sauce, heat vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat briefly to add fruit juice, then return to the heat, allowing any excess liquid to evaporate.
- Mix in heavy cream, beef-friendly mustard, and honey; bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it cook until the sauce slightly thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking.
- Place the cooked salmon onto serving plates, topping each portion with the prepared sauce and a sprinkle of fresh thyme for decoration.
Notes
- For a more tangy flavor, consider using Dijon mustard instead of regular mustard in the sauce.
- Experiment with various fruit juices like orange or pineapple to add a unique twist to the sauce.
- Adjust the cooking time based on the salmon’s thickness for perfectly cooked fish; simmer the sauce longer for a thicker consistency.
