Can I use frozen salmon for this recipe?

Absolutely! I do this at least half the time - just thaw the fillets overnight in the fridge first. The key is patting them really dry with paper towels before adding the glaze (frozen salmon tends to be extra watery). If you're in a hurry, you can use the defrost setting on your microwave, but go slow - we want thawed fish, not cooked edges!

How do I prevent the salmon from sticking to the air fryer basket?

Two tricks I swear by: 1) Make sure your air fryer is fully preheated - cold baskets are sticky traps. 2) Lightly spray the basket with oil right before adding the glazed salmon. That honey mixture is delicious but sticky! If it does stick, let it cool slightly first - the salmon usually releases easier once it's not piping hot.

What's the best internal temperature for air fryer salmon?

145°F (63°C) is the magic number! I use an instant-read thermometer to check at the thickest part. The salmon will be perfectly flaky and moist - any hotter and it starts drying out. Remember, it'll keep cooking slightly after you take it out, so pull it at 140°F if you're nervous about overcooking.

Can I meal prep this honey glazed salmon?

It's my favorite meal prep protein! Cook as usual, then store cooled portions in airtight containers for up to 2 days. The glaze actually improves overnight! For reheating, 3 minutes in the air fryer at 350°F brings back that beautiful crispiness. I often make extra glaze to drizzle fresh before serving - just microwave for 10 seconds to loosen it up.
