Open the packet of frozen salmon.

Line the bottom of the air fryer basket with parchment paper for easier cleaning.

Grease the air fryer basket with regular cooking oil or non-aerosol cooking spray.

Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (approximately 400°F) for 5 minutes.

Soak the salmon in water while the air fryer preheats (optional).

Pat the salmon dry using a kitchen towel on both sides.

Make the honey and mustard sauce by combining 1 tablespoon of mustard, 1 tablespoon of honey (or maple syrup), and the juice of half a lemon (or one small lemon).

Brush the honey and mustard sauce on top of the salmon.

Season the salmon with salt and black pepper.

Carefully place the salmon in the air fryer basket with the skin side down.

Air fry the salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 8 to 9 minutes to defrost.

After the initial time, season the salmon again with salt and black pepper and brush with the reserved mustard sauce.

Air fry the salmon again at 400°F (200°C) for 7 to 8 minutes until cooked.

Transfer the salmon to a plate and garnish with chopped parsley.

Top with the remaining honey and mustard sauce before serving.
