Whisk together hot honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Brush the mixture onto the salmon and marinate for 30 minutes.
Air fry the salmon at 390°F for 8–10 minutes until the salmon is glazed and caramelized.
Finish with more hot honey and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
For an even quicker option, use a premade rub like @salt_sisters.
