Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 salmon steaks
- 2 Tablespoons dijon mustard

- Preheat air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 degrees F.
- Once air fryer has preheated, brush the basket with olive oil. (You could also spray olive oil onto the basket).

Notes
- This recipe can be modified to serve 1, simply halve the ingredients. If you want to serve more, simply adjust as needed.
- Salmon steaks typically have bones, including a center bone. Make sure to eat around the bones. However, you can eat the skin of salmon steaks if you like.
- Salmon should be cooked to a temperature of 145 degrees F to be safe to eat. This recipe should cook salmon steaks to that temperature. However, if you have a very thick salmon steak, make sure to use a meat thermometer to make sure your salmon steak is properly cooked.
